orange: Spherical Descriptors of Geographic Distributions

Characterization of distribution data on the surface of a sphere. The primary group of these metrics describe the extent of a distribution, geographic ranges. The calculation of geographic descriptors can be executed using point coordinate data, vector polygons, as well as cells on a discretized sphere. Besides using spherical implementations, the package offers the exploration of partial results for visual diagnostics.
