Species Composition Interpolation - SCI

Description

This functor spatially interpolates the beta-diversity patterns by using values of a NMDS of the beta-diversity index matrix. For more details see: Oliveira, U., Vasconcelos, M. F., & Santos, A. J. (2017). Biogeography of Amazon birds: rivers limit species composition, but not areas of endemism. Scientific Reports, 7(1), 2992. doi:10.1038/s41598-017-03098-w
