The speciesRecordTools R package contains functions for examining the distribution of species records, understanding sampling trends and potential biases, and building correlative presence-background species distribution models for prediction of the distribution of species across the landscape. The package is built to work with the Environmental Record Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly's (ERCCIS) opportunistic species records.

Provenance & quality
Code supplied here can be used to analyse data held by ERCCIS (Cornwall Wildlife Trust). The data is not included in the package but can be requested https://erccis.org.uk/requesting-data. The tools provided in this package were designed in collaboration with ERCCIS to overcome some of the limitations associated with these data when used to map the distribution of species. In particular, the methods attempt to address sparse sampling and spatial sampling bias associated with sampling for many species. Distribution data is required to support planning decisions and local nature recovery strategies within the region.
