Collapse rows with overlapping ranges

You can try this:

library(dplyr)
ranges %>% 
       arrange(start) %>% 
       group_by(g = cumsum(cummax(lag(stop, default = first(stop))) < start)) %>% 
       summarise(start = first(start), stop = max(stop))

# A tibble: 2 × 3
#      g    start      stop
#  <int>    <dbl>     <dbl>
#1     0 65.72000  87.75625
#2     1 89.61625 104.94062
