pak::pak("JBYoderLab/TARDIS")TARDIS was originally developed for analysis of flowering events by Joshua trees, Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana, with results described in
Yoder JB, AK Andrade, LA DeFalco, TC Esque, CJ Carlson, DF Shryock, R Yeager, and CI Smith. 2024. Reconstructing 120 years of climate change impacts on Joshua tree flowering. Ecology Letters, 27, e14478. doi.org/10.1111/ele.14478
We have since extended the method (and formally given it the super-cool name) in a study of toyon, Heteromeles arbutifolia, with explicit comparison to a “conventional” presence-based SDM.
