In EduardoArle/speciesRanges: Create or update species range maps based on point-records

Description

Plot the species occurrences with map background for visualisation

Usage

plotData(sps_occurrence, regional = TRUE, range = NULL)

Arguments

regional	logical, whether the whole world should be plotted as the background or only the region adjacent to the species countries of occurrence.
range	shapefile, the user can provide a specialist range map, or a convex hull to be visualised with the point occurrence.
occ	dataFrame of the species occurrence. Output of function occData.

Value

This function plots the species occurrence

Examples

# Load exemplary data

data(Euchloe_ausonia)

sps_occurrence <- occData(Euchloe_ausonia)

plotData(sps_occurrence)

# Create a data.frame containing species names and coordinates

test_data <- data.frame(sps=rep("Equus acephalus",10),
             lon=c(-43.2,-58.4,-56,-44,-54.5,-57.4,-60.1,-68.5,-71.3,-47.5),
             lat=c(-22.9,-34.6,-34.8,-20,-25.5,-25.2,-3,-32.5,-41.1,-15.5),
             gender=rep("female",10),head_size=rep("headless individual"),
             occ=c(TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE))

sps_occurrence <- occData(test_data,"sps","lon","lat","occ")

plotData(sps_occurrence)

# Plot occurrences with the whole world as background

plotData(sps_occurrence,regional=FALSE)
