R functions for the Community Mangement of Amazonian River Turtles

Provides functions for the demographic analysis of river turtle management options. Functions are organized by name in three groups: prep.. , Pop... and res... . prep.. are functions used to generate spatial layers (vector and raster files), with countries, catchments, rivers, protected areas and human accessibility. Pop... are functions used for modelling turtle population demographics. res... are functions used to generate results, producing tables and figures.

Example showing the use of these functions is available here: Norris,D.; Peres, C.A.; Michalski, F.; Gibbs, J.P. Prospects for freshwater turtle population recovery are catalyzed by pan-Amazonian community-based management.
