COMPARISON OF THE FREQUENCIES OF A FACTOR BETWEEN PRESENCES AND THE EXTENT

Description

It performs a plot comparing the mean and standard deviation of the frequencies between the cells of presence and the cells of the extent.

Usage

PreExt(data, var, envar, Interval, Interval.Value, Pre, Extent, Level=NULL,
Taxon=NULL, ResetPAR=TRUE, PAR=NULL, PLOT=NULL, XLAB=NULL, YLAB="Frequency",
MAIN=NULL, COLOR=c("#00FF0032","#FF000032"), XLIM=NULL, YLIM=NULL, TYPE="l",
LTY=c(1,2), PCH=NULL, LEGEND=NULL, AXIS=NULL, MTEXT= NULL, TEXT=NULL)

Arguments

data

Data file, which it may be obtained using DataManager of ModestR http://www.ipez.es/ModestR. See details section for the explanation of the format of the data.

var

Variable with the names of the factors.

envar

Factor.

Interval

Variable with the intervals.

Interval.Value

Variable with the values of the intervals.

Pre

Values of intervals for the presences.

Extent

Values of intervals for the extent.

Level

Optionally, a taxonomic level may be selected, i.e., class, family, order, genus or species.

Taxon

Optionally, it is possible to work only with a selected species, just specifying the name of the taxon or taxa selected within the taxonomic level selected in the argument Level, i.e., name of the order, family, etc. Can be a vector, so several taxa.

ResetPAR

If it is FALSE, the default condition of the function PAR is not placed and maintained those defined by the user in previous graphics.

PAR

It accesses the function PAR, allowing to modify different aspects of the graph.

PLOT

It allows to specify the characteristics of the function plot.default.

XLAB

Legend of X axis.

YLAB

Legend of Y axis.

MAIN

Main title of the plot. Default is the name of the environmental factor selected in the argument envar.

COLOR

Vector with the color of the presences and absences.

XLIM

Vector with the limits of the X axis.

YLIM

Vector with the limits of the Y axis.

TYPE

Type of plot. The following values are possible: "p" for points, "l" for lines, "b" for both points and lines, "c" for empty points joined by lines, "o" for overplotted points and lines, "s" and "S" for stair steps and "h" for histogram-like vertical lines. Finally, "n" does not produce any points or lines.

LTY

The line type. Line types can either be specified as an integer (0=blank, 1=solid (default), 2=dashed, 3=dotted, 4=dotdash, 5=longdash, 6=twodash) or as one of the character strings "blank", "solid", "dashed", "dotted", "dotdash", "longdash", or "twodash", where "blank" uses invisible lines (i.e., does not draw them).

PCH

Graphic symbol.

LEGEND

It allows to include a legend to the graph.

AXIS

It allows to add axes to the graph.

MTEXT

It allows to add text on the margins of the graph.

TEXT

It allows to add text in any area of the inner part of the graph.

Details

The CSV file required in the argument data has the following format: class, order, family, genus and species, along with the frequencies for presence and for the extent. This file may be obtained using ModestR (García-Roselló et al., 2013; available at the web site http://www.ipez.es/ModestR using the following menu: Export checked maps/To RWizard Applications/To SPEDInstab. The default name of this file obtained from ModestR is "Instability.CSV".

FUNCTIONS

The plot is performed with the function plot.default of base graphics package

EXAMPLE

In the example, it was estimated the instability index for several species of the orders Amiiformes and Perciformes (Guisande et al., 2010; Pelayo-Villamil et al., 2015). It is shown the percentiles of the variable altitude for presence and the extent.

Value

A plot is obtained.
