I work in macroecology and macroevolution First focus is on a single project. I may later move many of my other analyses Resources are needed for a global analysis dividing the world into equal area polygons using a modified AZP like framework. Effectively the aim is to create equal area irregular polygons which will be better suited that the field standard of equal area rasters which are widely used in macroecology. Aim is a software note with a target journal of Methods in Ecology and Evolution.
