In darunabas/phyloregion: Biogeographic Regionalization and Macroecology

Compute phylogenetic regionalization and evolutionary distinctiveness of phyloregions

Description

This function estimates evolutionary distinctiveness of each phyloregion by computing the mean value of phylogenetic beta diversity between a focal phyloregion and all other phyloregions in the study area.

Usage

phyloregion(x, k = 10, method = "average", pol = NULL, ...)

infomap(x, pol = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	A distance matrix
k	The desired number of phyloregions, often as determined by optimal_phyloregion.
method	the agglomeration method to be used. This should be (an unambiguous abbreviation of) one of “ward.D”, “ward.D2”, “single”, “complete”, “average” (= UPGMA), “mcquitty” (= WPGMA), “median” (= WPGMC) or “centroid” (= UPGMC).
pol	a vector polygon of grid cells or spatial points.
...	Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

An object of class phyloregion containing

• a data frame membership with columns grids and cluster

• k the number of clusters and additionally there can be an shape file and other objects. This representation may still change.
