radplot: Plot a rank-abundance distribution

In mikeroswell/MeanRarity: Hill Diversity Estimation and Visualization

Plot a rank-abundance distribution

Description

Take a vector of species [relative] abundances and plot a rank-abundance distribution or Whittaker plot.

Usage

radplot(
  ab,
  maxrich = length(comm),
  maxab = max(comm),
  fill = "red",
  shape = 16,
  size = 2.5,
  Whittaker = FALSE
)

Arguments

ab	A numeric vector of species abundances or relative abundances.
maxrich	Scalar, how many species to include space for
maxab	Scalar, how big is the largest abundance value
fill	Character string specifying a color, could be extended to permit name for community ID variable
shape	Character string for point shape, could be extended to permit name for community ID variable
size	Scalar, adjusts point size in ggplot object
Whittaker	Logical, if TRUE log-transform abundances

Value

ggplot object with a rank-abundance plot

Examples

radplot(c(20,8,5,4,2,1))
radplot(c(20,8,5,4,2,1), Whittaker = TRUE)
