Abstract

Aim

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 analyse functional trait spaces.

Innovation

To fill this gap, we propose funspace, an R package to easily handle bivariate and multivariate 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 publication-ready figures representing the outputs obtained from previous modules. We provide a worked example to demonstrate a complete funspace workflow.

Main Conclusions

funspace will provide researchers working with functional traits across the tree of life with a new tool 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.

funspace:用于构建、分析和绘制功能特质空间的 R 软件包
目的功能性状空间分析对于描述和比较整个生命树中生物的功能多样性至关重要。为了填补这一空白,我们提出了一个 R 软件包 funspace,用于轻松处理二元和多元功能性状空间分析。构成该软件包的六个功能可分为三个模块:构建和探索"、"绘图 "和 "绘图"。构建和探索模块利用基于核密度的方法定义功能性状空间的主要特征(如功能多样性指标)。映射模块使用一般加法模型来映射目标变量在性状空间中的分布情况。绘图模块提供了许多选项,用于创建灵活的、可用于发表的图表,这些图表代表了从前面的模块中获得的输出结果。我们提供了一个工作示例,演示了完整的 funspace 工作流程。主要结论funspace 将为研究生命树功能性状的研究人员提供一种新工具,方便他们探索:(i) 任何功能性状空间的主要特征,(ii) 功能性状空间与任何其他可能有助于形成物种功能多样性的生物或非生物因素之间的关系。

期刊介绍: Diversity and Distributions is a journal of conservation biogeography. We publish papers that deal with the application of biogeographical principles, theories, and analyses (being those concerned with the distributional dynamics of taxa and assemblages) to problems concerning the conservation of biodiversity. We no longer consider papers the sole aim of which is to describe or analyze patterns of biodiversity or to elucidate processes that generate biodiversity.
