  Env,
  file = NULL,
  ...,
  Xcol = "Longitude",
  Ycol = "Latitude",
  Spcol = NULL,
  GeoRes = TRUE,
  reso = max(res(Env@layers[[1]])),
  verbose = TRUE,
  GUI = FALSE
)

Arguments

path

character. Path to the directory that contains the occurrence table.

Env

raster stack. Environmental variables in the form of a raster stack used to perform spatial thinning (can be the result of the load_var function).
