Summarize variable(s) values in a presence-absence matrix within species' ranges

Based on a Presence-Absence matrix with added variables (see lets.addvar), this function summarizes the values of such variable(s) per species (across the species' occupied cells. i.e. within their ranges).

Usage

lets.summarizer(x, pos, xy = TRUE, fun = mean, ...)

Arguments

x

Presence-absence matrix with variables added.

pos

Column position of the variables of interest.

xy

Logical, if TRUE the input matrix contains geographic coordinates in the first two columns.

fun

Function to be used to summarize the variable per species. Default is mean.

...

Other parameters passed to the function defined in fun.
