Abstract Conservation planning and decision‐making rely on evaluations of biodiversity status threats that are based upon species' distribution estimates. However, gaps exist regarding automated tools to delineate current ranges from estimates use those calculate both species‐ community‐level metrics. Here, we introduce changeRangeR, an R package facilitates workflows reproducibly transform distributions into metrics relevant for conservation. For example, by combining predictions species...
Abstract Creating software tools that address the needs of a wide range decision-makers requires inclusion differing perspectives throughout development process. Software for biodiversity conservation often fall short in this regard, partly because broad decision-maker may exceed toolkits single research groups or even institutions. We show participatory, collaborative codesign enhances utility better decision-making planning, as demonstrated by our experiences developing set integrated...
