This function computes the set of indices based on number of species in Functional Entities (FEs) following Mouillot et al. (2014).

alpha.fd.fe(
asb_sp_occ,
sp_to_fe,
ind_nm = c("fred", "fored", "fvuln"),
check_input = TRUE,
details_returned = TRUE
)

## Arguments

asb_sp_occ

a matrix linking occurrences (coded as 0/1) of species (columns) in a set of assemblages (rows). Warning: An assemblage must contain at least one species.

sp_to_fe

a list with details of species clustering into FE from sp.to.fe.

ind_nm

a vector of character strings with the names of functional diversity indices to compute among 'fred', 'fored' and 'fvuln'. Indices names must be written in lower case letters. Default: all the indices are computed.

check_input

a logical value indicating whether key features the inputs are checked (e.g. class and/or mode of objects, names of rows and/or columns, missing values). If an error is detected, a detailed message is returned. Default: check.input = TRUE.

details_returned

a logical value indicating whether details about indices computation should be returned. These details are required by alpha.fd.fe.plot to plot FEs indices.

## Value

A list with:

• asb_fdfe a matrix containing for each assemblage (rows), values of functional diversity indices (same names than in 'ind_nm') as well as the number of species ('nb_sp') and the number of FE (nb_fe);

• if details_returned is TRUE,

• details_fdfe a list with asb_fe_nbsp a matrix with number of species per FE in each assemblage.

## Examples

# Load Species*Traits dataframe:
data('fruits_traits', package = 'mFD')

# Load Traits categories dataframe:
data('fruits_traits_cat', package = 'mFD')

# Load Assemblages*Species matrix:
data('baskets_fruits_weights', package = 'mFD')

# Remove continuous trait:
fruits_traits <- fruits_traits[, -5]
fruits_traits_cat <- fruits_traits_cat[-5, ]

# Compute gathering species into FEs:
sp_to_fe_fruits <- mFD::sp.to.fe(sp_tr = fruits_traits,
tr_cat = fruits_traits_cat,
fe_nm_type = 'fe_rank', check_input = TRUE)

# Get the occurrence dataframe:
asb_sp_fruits_summ <- mFD::asb.sp.summary(asb_sp_w = baskets_fruits_weights)
asb_sp_fruits_occ <- asb_sp_fruits_summ$'asb_sp_occ' # Compute alpha fd indices: alpha.fd.fe( asb_sp_occ = asb_sp_fruits_occ, sp_to_fe = sp_to_fe_fruits, ind_nm = c('fred', 'fored', 'fvuln'), check_input = TRUE, details_returned = TRUE) #>$asb_fdfe
