title: 'latbias: Calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index'
version: 1.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.latbias
abstract: 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).
