[R-sig-eco] Alpha hulls

[Paco Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I wonder if there is any R function which automates the calculation of alpha
hulls for estimating species ranges, as proposed by Burgman & Fox (2003). I
have only found functions for convex hulls (e.g. in adehabitat) but not for
alpha hulls

Burgman, M. A. and Fox, J. C.. 2003. Bias in species range estimates from
minimum convex polygons: implications for conservation and options for
improved planning. -Anim. Conserv. 6: 19-28. 

Thank you very much in advance
