ecoTolerance: An R package for Assessing Road and Human Footprint Tolerance in Wildlife Species

2026-02-28

Abstract excerpt

Most wildlife species currently inhabit areas transformed by human activity, a hallmark of the Anthropocene. Habitat alterations caused by the creation of roads and other human-made infrastructures shape the spatial distribution of wildlife species and their interaction with the environment. While some sensitive species disappear, more tolerant ones thrive near humans. Therefore, a streamlined tool to quantify the...
