Omniscape.jl
A package to compute omnidirectional landscape connectivity.
Package repository: https://github.com/Circuitscape/Omniscape.jl
This package is currently in the early stages of development. Please test it out and post issues to the GitHub repo with any bugs, feature requests, or questions.
Installation
using Pkg; Pkg.add("Omniscape")Overview
This package implements the omnidirectional connectivity algorithm developed by McRae et al. (2016). Omniscape.jl is a moving window implementation of Circuitscape.jl (Anantharaman et al. 2019). Circuitscape.jl applies circuit theory to make spatially-explicit predictions of connectivity using concepts developed by McRae (2006) and McRae et al. (2008).
