Agreed it was great to see "Each of the 300 individual models was
fitted using the gbm.step subroutine in the dismo package in the R
statistical programming environment (Elith et al. 2008)" in there and
also agreed that the following should have made it into the citations
(assuming only library(dismo) was done which is a terrible assumption
:-). Many thanks to Roger, Edzer (et al) as well. Critial,
foundational work which made this paper possible.

Why we do what we do:

Congratulations to Robert Hijmans and others maintaining the dismo package:

which is the computational basis for:

 Great stuff, but sadly I don't see the either R itself or the dismo
package cited in the journal article - the one mention of dismo gets a
reference to a paper (Elith, J., J. R. Leathwick & T. Hastie (2008)  A
working guide to boosted regression trees. J Anim Ecol, 77, 802-13)
and nothing else.

  *sigh*
