subpop.comp: Number of subpopulations

Description

Estimate the number of locations following the method **circular buffer method**

Usage

subpop.comp(XY, Resol_sub_pop = 5)

Arguments

XY

string, indicating the method used for estimating the number of locations. Either "fixed_grid" or "sliding scale". See details. By default, it is "fixed_grid"

Resol_sub_pop

numeric. Defines in kilometers the radius of the circles around each occurrence

Value

A list with one list for each taxa containing [[1]]Number of subpopulation and [[2]]SpatialPolygons.

Details

Input as a dataframe should have the following structure:

It is mandatory to respect field positions, but field names do not matter

[,1]	ddlat	numeric, latitude (in decimal degrees)
[,2]	ddlon	numeric, longitude (in decimal degrees)
[,3]	tax	character or factor, taxa names
