Dear Milton, you have 2 packages for modelling species distribution in 
R: grasper and Biomod (by Wilfried Thuiller), but they are all 
presence-absence models, so you must generate pseudoabsences for each 
species, following recommendations in papers (see Lobo 2007). On the 
other side, there are free gis tools to perform presence-only models 
(Biomapper, GARP, Openmodeller). Write me if you need if you want some 
advice.
