Description: Studies that report shifts in species distributions may be
        biased by the shape of the study area. The main functionality
        of this package is to calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index
        (LBI) for any given shape. The LBI is bounded between +1 (100%
        probability to exclusively record latitudinal shifts, i.e.,
        range shifts data sampled along a perfectly South-North
        oriented straight line) and -1 (100% probability to exclusively
        record longitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled
        along a perfectly East-West oriented straight line).
