rTARDIS: Terrains and Routes Directed in Spacetime

Implements classes and methods for constructing and analysing graph representations of complex geographic spaces at local to global scales, particularly where accessible spaces are discontinuously distributed but retain connectivity (e.g., island systems where isolation is prevalent but not necessarily absolute), and where that distribution also changes through time (e.g., habitat patch fragmentation or plate tectonic drift). The package (originally named TARDIS) was first described and published in: Flannery-Sutherland, J., Elsler, A., Farnsworth, A., Lunt, D., Benton, M. (2025) <doi:10.1038/s41559-025-02739-y>.
