map.res: Mapping in grid cell results of IUCN.eval

In ConR: Computation of Parameters Used in Preliminary Assessment of Conservation Status

Description

Provides four maps showing in grid cells of a given resolution : number of records, species richness, number of threatened species (CR+EN+VU) and proportion of threatened species. Based on quilt.plot.

Usage

map.res(
  Results,
  Occurrences,
  country_map = NULL,
  Resol = 1,
  threshold = 0,
  LatMin = NULL,
  LatMax = NULL,
  LongMin = NULL,
  LongMax = NULL,
  export_map = FALSE,
  file_name = NULL,
  export_data = FALSE
)

Arguments

Results	The default output of IUCN.eval applied to multiple species
Occurrences	A dataframe, see Details
country_map	A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame or SpatialPolygons showing for example countries or continent borders
Resol	numeric , resolution in decimal degrees
threshold	numeric, only grid cells with at least this number of records will be shown
LatMin	numeric, minimum latitude for the map
LatMax	numeric, maximum latitude for the map
LongMin	numeric, minimum longitude for the map
LongMax	numeric, maximum longitude for the map
export_map	logical, if TRUE, four maps in png will be created in the working directory if FALSE, maps will be displayed in the R session
file_name	character string. Name of the file
export_data	logical. If TRUE, a dataframe containing all information on the grid cell mapped is exported

Details

Input Occurrences as a dataframe should have the following structure:

It is mandatory to respect field positions, but field names do not matter

[,1]	ddlat	numeric, latitude (in decimal degrees)
[,2]	ddlon	numeric, longitude (in decimal degrees)
[,3]	tax	character or factor, taxa names

Value

Produce four maps either in the R session (if export_map is FALSE) or in png format in the working directory (if export_map is TRUE)

If export_data is TRUE

Output

[,1]	X	numeric, x coordinates of cell [,2]	Y	numeric, y coordinates of cell [,3]	meanLat	numeric, mean latitude of occurrences within cell
[,4]	meanLat	numeric, mean longitude of occurrences within cell
[,5]	NbeRec	numeric, Number of records
[,6]	NbeEsp	numeric, Number of species
[,7]	NbeThreatened	numeric, Number of threatened species
[,8]	PropThreatened	numeric, Proportion of threatened species

Examples

## Not run: 
data(land)
data(Malagasy_amphibian)
Results <- IUCN.eval(Malagasy_amphibian, DrawMap=FALSE, country_map=land, SubPop=FALSE)
### This should run for 3 to 6 minutes depending of the computer.

### Maps covering the whole dataset with a minimum of 5 records in each cell
map.res(Results=Results, Occurrences=Malagasy_amphibian, country_map=land, 
export_map=FALSE, threshold=5)

## Maps focusing on Madagascar with a minimum of 5 records in each cell
map.res(Results=Results, Occurrences=Malagasy_amphibian, country_map=land, export_map=FALSE, 
	threshold=5, LatMin=-25,LatMax=-12,LongMin=42, LongMax=52)

## Maps focusing on Madagascar at half degree resolution with a minimum of 5 records in each cell
map.res(Results=Results, Occurrences=Malagasy_amphibian, country_map=land, 
export_map=FALSE,Resol=0.5, 
	threshold=5, LatMin=-25,LatMax=-12,LongMin=42, LongMax=52)

## Maps have been exported in the directory IUCN__results_map
map.res(Results=Results, Occurrences=Malagasy_amphibian, country_map=land, export_map=TRUE, 
	threshold=5, LatMin=-25,LatMax=-12,LongMin=42, LongMax=52)

## Install speciesgeocodeR package for an example with their lemurs dataset
library(speciesgeocodeR)
data("lemurs_in")

Results <- IUCN.eval(lemurs_in, DrawMap=FALSE, country_map=land, SubPop=FALSE)

map.res(Results=Results, Occurrences=lemurs_in, country_map=land, export_map=FALSE, threshold=3, 
	LatMin=-25,LatMax=-12,LongMin=42, LongMax=52, Resol=1)
