SpeciesInteractionSamplers.jl is a Julia package for simulating the process of
sampling species interaction networks with spatiotemporal variation in species
occurrence. It is built on SpeciesInteractionNetworks.jl, and uses
NeutralLandscapes.jl and Distributions.jl to generate species ranges and
phenologies that have prescribed statistical properties. This software is associated with the second preprinted version of Catchen et
al. 2023.
SpeciesInteractionNetworks.jl makes use of UnicodePlots.jl to
make the REPL experience more interactive. If you would like to turn this off,
either to remove the slight added latency, or because you hate fun, you can set
the variable SpeciesInteractionNetworks.INTERACTIVE_REPL = false.
