1 TREE DIVERSITY ANALYSIS A manual and software for common statistical methods for ecological and biodiversity studies Using the BiodiversityR software within the R environment R Kindt, World Agroforestry Centre, Nairobi (Kenya), January 2008 Introduction The software accompanying the Tree Diversity Analysis manual was developed for the R environment. Since the publication of the manual at the end of 2005, new versions of the base R and its accompanying packages have become available. These changes made it necessary to modify the BiodiversityR software. At the same time that these changes were implemented, the opportunity was taken to develop BiodiversityR into a package that can be installed and is documented in the same way as other R packages. Some new functions were integrated in the new version of the package. Functions that were not directly associated with the graphical user interface (GUI) provided by BiodiversityR were documented separately. This document shows where the Tree Diversity Analysis manual has become outdated. Main changes in the software The main changes in the software include the following: Installation Using the package and the graphical user interface after the package was installed Import of data via Excel workbooks or Access databases In the new version of the software, the package is installed and loaded as any other package developed within the R statistical environment. Two accompanying documents (Windows Installation and Using BiodiversityR under Windows, both in PDF format and available from the Software folder on the CD-ROM) provide instructions how BiodiversityR can be installed and used under MS Windows. These accompanying documents replace most of the information that is available in Chapter 3: Doing biodiversity analysis with Biodiversity.R of the manual. An important change from the previous instructions for installation is that the step of copying the Biodiversity.R and Rcmdr-menus.txt is not needed anymore (page 34 in the manual).
2 As the software is now a standard package, use the following command to load the package (obviously after the package was installed; alternatively you could use the following menu options: Packages > Load package ): library(biodiversityr) To access the graphical user interface of the package (still based on the Rcmdr package), use: BiodiversityRGUI() To learn more about the features of the BiodiversityR package use menu options of: BiodiversityR > Help about BiodiversityR > Help about BiodiversityR, or type:?biodiversityrgui A new feature of the updated package is that data can be imported from Excel workbooks or Access databases. To be able to import data for the community and environmental datasets (read Chapter 2: Data preparation if you do not know what information is contained in these datasets), data for the environmental data set needs to be available from an Excel worksheet (alternatively an Access table) named environmental. Data for the community data set should be available as a matrix (formatted as sites species, with species abundances as cell entries) from an Excel worksheet (alternatively an Access table) named community, or these data should be available in a stacked format (with separate columns for sites, species and abundances) from an Excel worksheet (alternatively an Access table) named stacked. Both datasets should be available from the same Excel workbook (or Access database). More information on importing data from Excel or Access is available from the help provided for the import.from.excel and import.from.access functions:?import.from.excel?import.from.access
3 Main changes in the examples of the manual The main change in the examples is that the menu options should now be accessed via BiodiversityR and not Biodiversity. Below, other changes in the different chapters are listed. Chapter 1: Sampling No changes. Chapter 2: Data preparation - Page 29 To load data from an external file (see chapter 3 for the required format of a data file): Data > Import data > from text file or clipboard Enter name for data set: data (choose any name) Click OK Browse for the file and click on it Select the species and environmental matrices: Select the dune.env dataset Select the dune dataset Chapter 3: Doing biodiversity analysis with BiodiversityR Most information from this chapter has become outdated. Please see above and consult the accompanying documents of Windows Installation and Using BiodiversityR under Windows (both documents are in PDF format and are available from the Software folder on the CD-ROM).
