Biogeography and macroecology are at the heart of the debate on ecology and evolution. We have developed the BioDinamica package, a suite of user-friendly graphical programs for analysing spatial patterns of biogeography and macroecology. BioDinamica includes analyses of beta-diversity, species richness, endemicity, phylo-diversity, species distribution models, predictive models of biodiversity patterns, and several tools for spatial biodiversity analysis. BioDinamica consists of a sub-library of Dinamica-EGO operators developed by integrating EGO native functions with R scripts. The BioDinamica operators can be assembled to create complex analytical and simulation models through the EGO graphical programming interface. In addition, we make available "Wizard" tutorials for end users. BioDinamica can be downloaded free of charge from the Dinamica EGO submodel store. The tools made available in BioDinamica not only facilitate complex biodiversity analyses, they also help develop state-of-the-art spatial models for biogeography and macroecology studies.
生物地理学和宏观生态学是生态学与进化领域争论的核心内容。我们开发了BioDinamica软件包，它是一套用户友好的图形程序，用于分析生物地理学和宏观生态学的空间格局。BioDinamica包括对β多样性、物种丰富度、特有性、系统发育多样性、物种分布模型、生物多样性模式预测模型的分析，以及一些用于空间生物多样性分析的工具。BioDinamica由一个Dinamica-EGO算子子库组成，该子库通过将EGO原生函数与R脚本集成而开发。BioDinamica算子可以通过EGO图形化编程接口进行组装，以创建复杂的分析和模拟模型。此外，我们还为终端用户提供了“向导式”教程。BioDinamica可以从Dinamica EGO子模型库免费下载。BioDinamica中提供的工具不仅便于进行复杂的生物多样性分析，还有助于为生物地理学和宏观生态学研究开发先进的空间模型。
