Description: Studies that report shifts in species distributions may be biased
  by the shape of the study area. The main functionality of this package is to
  calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index (LBI) for any given shape. The LBI is
  bounded between +1 (100% probability to exclusively record latitudinal
  shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly South-North
  oriented straight line) and -1 (100% probability to exclusively record
  longitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly
  East-West oriented straight line).
