mapast

About

mapast is a package that combines paleomaps from different models with fossil records from Paleobiology Database. It can be used to download shapefiles with reconstructions of the past configuration of the continents, and to generate paleodiversity maps. Available models can be found at https://github.com/GPlates/gplates_web_service_doc/wiki/Reconstruction-Models .

Quick start

Install

Install mapast from CRAN (not on CRAN yet)

install.packages("mapast")
library(mapast)

Install mapast developing version from github

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("macroecology/mapast")
library(mapast)

General overview

mapast version 0.1 has 3 functions for getting and visualising paleogeographical maps and fossil data, 4 functions for constructing diversity rasters (paleorichness and Shannon paleodiversity) and 2 functions for creating diversity matrix (based on localities or cells) and 2 functions for getting latitudinal paleodiversity gradients.

Get and visualise paleogeograhical maps and fossil data

formatdata returns a data.frame with the data from the Paleobiology Database in the correct format for further analysis.
