In tati-micheletti/makePriorityMapFN: Cat Management Priority Map for Fernando de Noronha

Description

This functions creates the priority map for cat management in Fernando de Noronha. It downloads all needed data and creates a raster object and saves it in the home directory

Usage

makePriorityMap(useNewerData = TRUE, version = "2",
  bufferNests = 400, speciesOrder = NULL,
  interpolationDistance = 250, wholeIsland = FALSE)

Arguments

useNewerData	Default is TRUE. Updates Dias et al., 2017 data with Sobral et al., in prep.
version	Default is "2". Version "1" uses slope as a proxy to marine birds' nests and does not interpolate. Version "2" uses just the marine bird nests data and the cat density, both normalized. It also interpolates the final raster to smooth the transition between zones.
bufferNests	Default is set to 400. This is the distance in meters from the nests (used if version = "2"/"3") that should be considered priority area. Takes into consideration cat's home range and area use.
speciesOrder	Default is set to NULL. This parameter can be passed as the object generated by using the function rankSpecies. If not passed, the ranking is automatically created based on expert opinion.
interpolationDistance	Default is 250. This indicated how spread out the effect of nests should have on overall priority.
wholeIsland	Default is FALSE. If TRUE the risk map is done for the whole main island in FN. If FALSE it is done only for the PARNAMAR and surroundings.
