Plot objects of class "species_distribution" produced by species_distribution and similar functions.
Usage
# S3 method for class 'species_distribution'

type = c("RAC", "Metacommunity"),
...,
fit_rac = FALSE,
distribution = c("lnorm", "lseries", "geom", "bstick"),
ylog = "y",
main = NULL,
xlab = "Rank",
ylab = NULL,
palette = "Set1"
)
# S3 method for class 'species_distribution'

)Arguments
- x
An object.
- type
The type of plot. "RAC" (Rank-abundance curve, or Whittaker plot) or "Metacommunity" to represent species abundances of each community along with those of the metacommunity.
- ...
Additional arguments to be passed to plot. Unused elsewhere.
- fit_rac
If
TRUE, estimate a theoretical distribution and fit the data with it. RAC plot only.- distribution
The distribution of species abundances. May be "lnorm" (log-normal), "lseries" (log-series), "geom" (geometric) or "bstick" (broken stick). RAC plot only.
- ylog
If
TRUE, the Y-axis is in log-scale. RAC plot only.- main
The title of the plot.
- xlab
The label of the X-axis. RAC plot only.
- ylab
The label of the Y-axis.
- palette
The name of a color palette, recognized by RColorBrewer::brewer.pal. RAC plot only.
- object
An object of class species_distribution.
- pch
The plotting characters. See graphics::points.
- cex
The character expansion (size) of the points. See graphics::points.
