Description: Build spatially and temporally explicit process-based
        species distribution models, that can include an arbitrary
        number of environmental factors, species and processes
        including metabolic constraints and species interactions. The
        focus of the package is simulating populations of one or
        multiple species in a grid-based landscape and studying the
        meta-population dynamics and emergent patterns that arise from
        the interaction of species under complex environmental
        conditions. It provides functions for common ecological
        processes such as negative exponential, kernel-based dispersal
        (see Nathan et al. (2012)
        <doi:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199608898.003.0015>), calculation
        of the environmental suitability based on cardinal values ( Yin
        et al. (1995) <doi:10.1016/0168-1923(95)02236-Q>, simplified by
        Yan and Hunt (1999) <doi:10.1006/anbo.1999.0955> see eq: 4),
        reproduction in form of an Ricker model (see Ricker (1954)
        <doi:10.1139/f54-039> and Cabral and Schurr (2010)
        <doi:10.1111/j.1466-8238.2009.00492.x>), as well as metabolic
        scaling based on the metabolic theory of ecology (see Brown et
        al. (2004) <doi:10.1890/03-9000> and Brown, Sibly and
        Kodric-Brown (2012) <doi:10.1002/9781119968535.ch>).
