  <dc:title>Species Range Mapping from GBIF Using Ecoregion Constraints</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package gbif.range version 1.9.2</dc:title>
  <dc:description>A user-friendly, end-to-end workflow to generate ecologically
    informed species range maps from sparse observations using environmental
    clustering and convex hulls. Serves as a standalone framework or
    complementary approach to Species Distribution Models (SDMs). By
    constraining estimated ranges within authoritative or custom ecoregion
    boundaries, the approach prevents spurious range over-prediction common in
    geometric hull methods. The package automates data acquisition via 'GBIF'
    synonym-aware, tiled downloads; curates records using 13 configurable
    filters; and supports multi-scale analysis by integrating global or
    user-provided spatial layers. Also includes disk-based batch processing for
    large-scale studies and built-in tools for cross-validation and
    expert-derived evaluations.</dc:description>
