Tools developped for the community
During my PhD, I have developped the mFD R package which computes and plots functional diversity indices 📏🎨
It is currently available on CRAN and Github for the development version.
Its website goes with a set of tutorials to help to go through the functional analysis process. If you have any question about the use of the mFD package, just contact me and I will be happy to help!
During on a project made during a teaching unit done by the FRB-CESAB in Montpellier (December 2021), two other PhD students and I have build a website on the basics of Code Reproductibility in R 🚀 Lena Klay, Erwan Harscouet and I hope that this PokeReproductibility website can help newcomers in the Reproductibility to understand the key concepts!
In this teaching material led by Laura Richardson, we propose a set of one introductory lecture, three practicals in R and one symposium with a poster session, to learn what is functional diversity, how to compute a multidimensional space based on species traits, diverse functional indices and their meaning, based on an ecological question and field data 🐠🪸
You can find the Teaching material here !
Using this teaching material, students learn how to: 1- Get to know their dataset & traits data using R 🔎 2- Learn basic operations of data manipulation and plot using the #ggplot2 package 📉 3- Develop hypotheses on coral bleaching’s impact on fish FD🪸 4- Learn how to build a multi-traits space via PCoA & what it represents🚀 5- Compute FD indices & understand their meaning🧠 6- Test their hypotheses using stat tests🧮 7- Present their results in a poster🎆
