In the past years I've been creating ENMs using dismo and its related packages like raster.
I have my own workflow but for didactic purposes I also use modleR workflow (https://github.com/Model-R/modleR) which is very good for students learning ENMs.
Recently, the package raster was retired and a lot of my analysis and workflow rely on raster and dismo which has been causing me some issues.
As far as I'm capable I've been changing my codes to use the package terra instead of raster, but it has been a nightmare.
There is any workflow or package I can follow/use as an alternative for dismo/raster ? Any package or workflow which already uses terra to manipulate spatial data ?
Thanks for the attention !
Dear Alexandre,
packages "raster" and "dismo" are still on CRAN, and switching from "raster" to "terra" is not compulsory, only recommended. There are a lot of packages supporting the full modeling workflow or some parts of it, e.g, ecospat, ENMTools, ENMTML, ENMeval, flexsdm etc. Some of them are updated more regularly than "dismo" and surely manage the recent raster->terra and sp->sf evolution.
Also please check this paper for further relevant R packages:

Hi Alexandre,
The new package “predicts” which is based on terra is replacing dismo. This package is created by Robert Hijman who is also the creator of terra, raster and dismo.
