+`drmr` (pronounced *drummer*) is an `R` package for fitting dynamic range models
+to spatiotemporal data on species abundance. Dynamic range models are spatial
+population models in which demographic rates (e.g., reproduction or mortality)
+are influenced by the environment. Inference is carried out in a Bayesian
+framework via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samples available in `Stan`.
