The calculation of autoecological data, such as optima and tolerance ranges to environmental variables, can be useful to establish the distribution and abundance of the species. These calculations, although mathematically not complex, can be prone to error when using a large database. We show how to calculate the optimum value and tolerance ranges of multiple species to multiple environmental factors in a single run, by weighted average using a specific R package (‘optimos.prime’). Using sample data from a phytoplankton database, we exemplify the use of the R package and its functions. A stand‐alone version for Windows is also provided, and source code and documents are freely available on GitHub to encourage collaborative work.

使用“ optimos.prime” R软件包计算多个物种的自生态学数据（最佳和耐受范围）

诸如环境变量的最佳值和耐受范围之类的自生态数据的计算对于确定物种的分布和丰度可能很有用。这些计算虽然在数学上并不复杂，但是在使用大型数据库时可能会出错。我们展示了如何使用特定的R包（'optimos.prime'）通过加权平均值计算单次运行中多个物种对多个环境因素的最优值和耐受范围。使用浮游植物数据库中的样本数据，我们举例说明了R包及其功能的用法。还提供了Windows的独立版本，并且在GitHub上免费提供了源代码和文档，以鼓励协作。
