Spectrum plots

Description

High-level functions that plot the sum numerical abundance (N) or biomass abundance (B) in equally-spaced log10 body-mass bins.

Usage

PlotBSpectrum(community, 
              lower = min(NP(community, "M"), na.rm = TRUE), 
              upper = max(NP(community, "M"), na.rm = TRUE), 
              n.bins = 10, 
              main = CPS(community)$title, 
              xlab = Log10MLabel(community), 
              ylab = Log10BLabel(community), 
              xlim = NULL, 
              ylim = NULL, 
              pch = 19, 
              show.bin.limits = TRUE, 
              show.bin.centres = FALSE, 
              ...)

PlotNSpectrum(community, 
              lower = min(NP(community, "M"), na.rm = TRUE), 
              upper = max(NP(community, "M"), na.rm = TRUE), 
              n.bins = 10, 
              main = CPS(community)$title, 
              xlab = Log10MLabel(community), 
              ylab = Log10NLabel(community), 
              xlim = NULL, 
              ylim = NULL, 
              pch = 19, 
              show.bin.limits = TRUE, 
              show.bin.centres = FALSE, 
              ...)

Arguments

community	an object of class Community.
lower	lower bound of the bins.
upper	upper bound of the bins.
n.bins	the number of bins.
main	title of the plot
xlab	title of the x axis.
ylab	title of the y axis.
xlim	limits of the x axis.
ylim	limits of the y axis.
pch	plotting symbol.
show.bin.limits	logical - if TRUE the centres of the bins are marked with a line.
show.bin.centres	logical - if TRUE the centres of the bins are marked with a line.
...	other values to plot functions.

Value

A list:

bins	value returned by the BodyMassBins function.
lm	a linear regression fitted through the data.
