Species distribution models (SDM) are widely used in diverse research areas because of their simple data requirements and application versatility. However, SDM outcomes are sensitive to data input and methodological choices. Such sensitivity and diverse applications mean that flexibility is necessary to create SDMs with tailored protocols for a given set of data and model use.We introduce therpackageflexsdmfor supporting flexible species distribution modelling workflows.flexsdmfunctions and their arguments serve as building blocks to construct a specific modelling protocol for user's needs. The mainflexsdmfeatures are modelling flexibility, integration with other modelling tools, simplicity of the objects returned and function speed. As an illustration, we usedflexsdmto define a complete workflow for California red firAbies magnifica.This package provides modelling flexibility by incorporating comprehensive tools structured in three steps: (a) The Pre‐modelling functions that prepare input, for example, sampling bias correction, sampling pseudo‐absences and background points, data partitioning, and reducing collinearity in predictors. (b) The Modelling functions allow fitting and evaluating different modelling approaches, including individual algorithms, tuned models, ensembles of small models and ensemble models. (c) The Post‐modelling functions include tools related to models' predictions, interpolation and overprediction correction.Becauseflexsdmcomprises a large part of the SDM process, from outlier detection to overprediction correction,flexsdmusers can delineate partial or complete workflows based on the combination functions to meet specific modelling needs.
