The following vignette presents the basic functions and methods of the `bamm` package. The package has three main functionalities related to each element of the **BAM** scheme. ```{r setup} library(bamm) ``` ## **A** functions ### Convert niche models to sparse matrices The package uses sparse matrices to represent those objects which allows it to optimize computers memory and make important speed ups in computation times by eliminating operations on zero elements. The basic function of the package is `model2sparse` which converts a raster model to an **setA** class ```{r} model_path <- system.file("extdata/Lepus_californicus_cont.tif", package = "bamm") model <- raster::raster(model_path) # binary model model_bin <- model > 0.7 sparse_mod <- bamm::model2sparse(model = model_bin) ``` The slots of the object are ```{r} sparse_mod ``` ## M functions ### Connectivity matrix The function to estimate connectivity between pixels of a given raster is `adj_mat`, (generally is the M area but can be any matrix); it uses sparse adjacency matrices. ```{r} # Adjacency matrix from a niche model adj_mod <- adj_mat(sparse_mod,ngbs=1,eigen_sys = T) adj_mod ``` The map of the connectivity matrix `adj_mod` is ```{r fig.cap="Fig. 1 Connectivity map of `adj_mod` object. Here green color means more connected."} model_eig <- model model_eig[sparse_mod@cellIDs] <- abs(adj_mod@eigen_vec) raster::plot(model_eig) ``` ## AM objects These are objects that combine **SetA** and **SetM** . ### Connectivity Suitability diagram Estimates the connectivity suitability and dispersal diagram. It shows the number of geographic clusters as a function of dispersal and suitability. ```{r} clustersin <- bamm::bam_clusters(model=sparse_mod, ngbs=1,plot_model=FALSE) ``` The function returns the following slots ```{r} clustersin ``` Lets see the geographic clusters as function of suitability and dispersal ```{r fig.cap="Figure 2. An interative map showing the geographic clusters for a species that can travel two steps per unit time"} clustersin@interactive_map ``` ```{r fig.cap="Figure 3. An raster map showing the geographic clusters for a species that can travel two steps per unit time"} raster::plot(clustersin@raster_map) ``` ### The CSD diagram The CSD diagram is a simple but useful tool to estimate the number of dispersal steps that a species needs to travel per unit time in order to occupy its potential area of distribution. In this example the approximate number of dispersal steps to archive all suitable patches is 30 (not shown here). ```{r fig.width=4,fig.height=4,fig.cap="Figure 4. Connectivity Sutitability Dispersal plot (CSD plot).\nThe mean number of connected cells (MNCC) is showed in the legend."} csd_plot <- bamm::csd_estimate(sparse_mod, dispersal_steps=c(2,4,8)) plot(csd_plot$csd$`dispersal_step:_4`@raster_map, main="CSD clusters") ```
