Code and example images from: recolorize: An R package for flexible color segmentation of biological images
<p>Color pattern variation provides biological information in fields ranging from disease ecology to speciation dynamics. Comparing color pattern geometries across images requires color segmentation, where pixels in an image are assigned to one of a set of color classes shared by all images. Manual methods for color segmentation are slow and subjective, while automated methods can struggle with high technical variation in aggregate image sets. We present recolorize, an R package toolbox for human-subjective color segmentation with functions for batch-processing low-variation image sets and additional tools for handling images from diverse (high variation) sources. The package also includes export options for a variety of formats and color analysis packages. This paper illustrates recolorize for three example datasets, including high variation, batch processing, and combining with reflectance spectra, and demonstrates the downstream use of methods that rely on this output.</p>
funspace: an R package to build, analyze and plot functional trait spaces
<p>Functional trait space analyses are pivotal to describe and compare organisms' functional diversity across the tree of life. Yet, there is no single application that streamlines the many sometimes-troublesome steps needed to build and analyze functional trait spaces.</p> <p>To fill this gap, we propose funspace, an R package to easily handle bivariate and multivariate (PCA-based) functional trait space analyses. The six functions that constitute the package can be grouped in three modules: 'Building and exploring', 'Mapping', and 'Plotting'. The building and exploring module defines the main features of a functional trait space (e.g., functional diversity metrics) by leveraging kernel density-based methods. The mapping module uses general additive models to map how a target variable distributes within a trait space. The plotting module provides many options for creating flexible and high-quality figures representing the outputs obtained from previous modules. We provide a worked example to demonstrate a complete funspace workflow.</p> <p>funspace will provide researchers working with functional traits across the tree of life with an indispensable asset to easily explore: (i) the main features of any functional trait space, (ii) the relationship between a functional trait space and any other biological or non-biological factor that might contribute to shaping species' functional diversity.</p>

SSP: An R package to estimate sampling effort in studies of ecological communities
<p>SSP (simulation-based sampling protocol) is an R package that uses simulations of ecological data and dissimilarity-based multivariate standard error (MultSE) as an estimator of precision to evaluate the adequacy of different sampling efforts for studies that will test hypothesis using permutational multivariate analysis of variance. The procedure consists in simulating several extensive data matrixes that mimic some of the relevant ecological features of the community of interest using a pilot data set. For each simulated data, several sampling efforts are repeatedly executed and MultSE calculated. The mean value, 0.025 and 0.975 quantiles of MultSE for each sampling effort across all simulated data are then estimated and standardized regarding the lowest sampling effort. The optimal sampling effort is identified as that in which the increase in sampling effort does not improve the highest MultSE beyond a threshold value (e.g. 2.5 %). The performance of SSP was validated using real data. In all three cases, the simulated data mimicked the real data and allowed to evaluate the relationship MultSE – n beyond the sampling size of the pilot studies. SSP can be used to estimate sample size in a wide variety of situations, ranging from simple (e.g. single site) to more complex (e.g. several sites for different habitats) experimental designs. The latter constitutes an important advantage in the context of multi-scale studies in ecology. An online version of SSP is available for users without an R background.</p>
EcoPhyloMapper: an R package for integrating geographic ranges, phylogeny, and morphology
<p>1. Spatial patterns of species richness, phylogenetic and morphological diversity are key to answering many questions in ecology and evolution. Across spatial scales, geographic and environmental features, as well as evolutionary history and phenotypic traits, are thought to play roles in shaping both local species communities and regional assemblages. By examining these geographic patterns, it is possible to infer how different axes of biodiversity influence one another, and how their interaction with abiotic factors has led to the spatial distribution of species assemblages – and their attributes – that we observe in the present. Although there has been interest in this area of research for some time, it has recently become more tractable to include multivariate shape data in such analyses. Shape information has the potential to provide a more direct measure of the functional morphology of species as compared to individual trait measurements and might be more relevant to understanding community composition. However, few tools currently exist to explore geographic patterns of both phylogenetic and shape diversity.</p> <p>2. We present the ecoPhyloMapper R package (epm) that aims to streamline the handling of geographic range polygons or point occurrences and integration of resulting species metacommunities with phylogenetic trees and morphological shape.</p> <p>3. Geographic maps can be generated that demonstrate spatial patterns in diversity metrics pertaining to phylogenetic similarity, multivariate shape similarity and disparity, and combinations of the two. Patterns of taxonomic, phylogenetic and shape disparity turnover can also be visualized. Biodiversity indices summarized across grid cells can easily be exported to GIS software as well as to other R packages that specialize in community assembly or geospatial statistics.</p> <p>4. This R package will facilitate the geographic exploration of multivariate shape data in concert with phylogenetic diversity, which will in turn support macroecological research exploring how species assemblages are structured. Further, this R package should prove useful across a wide range of macroecological applications that extend beyond the study of morphology.</p>
Data from: imageseg: An R package for deep learning-based image segmentation
<p>1. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and deep learning are powerful and robust tools for ecological applications, and are particularly suited for image data. Image segmentation (the classification of all pixels in images) is one such application and can for example be used to assess forest structural metrics. While CNN-based image segmentation methods for such applications have been suggested, widespread adoption in ecological research has been slow, likely due to technical difficulties in implementation of CNNs and lack of toolboxes for ecologists.</p> <p>2. Here, we present R package imageseg which implements a CNN-based workflow for general-purpose image segmentation using the U-Net and U-Net++ architectures in R. The workflow covers data (pre)processing, model training, and predictions. We illustrate the utility of the package with image recognition models for two forest structural metrics: tree canopy density and understory vegetation density. We trained the models using large and diverse training data sets from a variety of forest types and biomes, consisting of 2877 canopy images (both canopy cover and hemispherical canopy closure photographs) and 1285 understory vegetation images.</p> <p>3. Overall segmentation accuracy of the models was high with a Dice score of 0.91 for the canopy model and 0.89 for the understory vegetation model (assessed with 821 and 367 images, respectively). The image segmentation models performed significantly better than commonly used thresholding methods, and generalized well to data from study areas not included in training. This indicates robustness to variation in input images and good generalization strength across forest types and biomes.</p> <p>4. The package and its workflow allow simple yet powerful assessments of forest structural metrics using pre-trained models. Furthermore, the package facilitates custom image segmentation with single or multiple classes and based on color or grayscale images, e.g. for applications in cell biology or for medical images. Our package is free, open source, and available from CRAN. It will enable easier and faster implementation of deep learning-based image segmentation within R for ecological applications and beyond.</p>
spectre: An R package to estimate spatially-explicit community composition using sparse data
<p>An understanding of how biodiversity is distributed across space is key to much of ecology and conservation. Many predictive modelling approaches have been developed to estimate the distribution of biodiversity over various spatial scales. Community modelling techniques may offer many benefits over single-species modelling. However, techniques capable of estimating precise species makeups of communities are highly data intensive and thus often limited in their applicability. Here we present an R package, spectre, which can predict regional community composition at a fine spatial resolution using only sparsely sampled biological data. The package can predict the presence and absence of all species in an area, both known and unknown, at the sample site scale. Underlying the spectre package is a min-conflicts optimisation algorithm that predicts species' presences and absences throughout an area using estimates of α-, β-, and γ-diversity. We demonstrate the utility of the spectre package using a spatially-explicit simulated ecosystem to assess the accuracy of the package's results. spectre offers a simple-to-use tool with which to accurately predict community compositions across varying scales, facilitating further research and knowledge acquisition into this fundamental aspect of ecology.</p>
