Open Source S/R Ecosystem Sciences Software

The Life Cycle Assessment Spreadsheet allows you to calculate carbon footprints and other environmental impacts for given product systems. Use requires basic skills in LCA and matrix algebra, but rewards effort with professional analytical tools.

PAMGuide is acoustic analysis software for the characterisation of the acoustic environment from sound recordings. PAMGuide can be used to produce calibrated spectrograms and statistical analyses of sound levels, and is provided in both MATLAB and R. A Tutorial on getting started with PAMGuide can be downloaded here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12330/suppinfo PAMGuide was published as supplementary material to the following Open Access journal article: Merchant, N.D., Fristrup, K.M., Johnson, M.P., Tyack, P.L., Witt, M.J., Blondel, P., Parks, S.E.

VLE is a multi-modeling and simulation environment to study complex dynamic systems. VLE is based on the discrete event specification DEVS. and it implements the DSDE formalism (A merge of Dynamic Structure DEVS, DSDEVS, with Parallel DEVS, PDEVS). VLE provides a complete set of C++ libraries, called VFL (VLE Foundation Libraries), to develop DEVS models, to gets results of simulations, to launch simulation on cluster. The models can be developed with the DEVS formalism or with the classical mathematical formalism: Ordinary Differential Equation with Euler, Range-Kutta or QSS integrator, Finite state automaton (FDDEVS, UML State chart, Hybrid Petri net). The VLE environment provides an IDE to develop C++ models, DEVS coupled models. VLE have also three ports to use the VFL with Python, Java and R programming languages.

We have moved, the project is now at http://distancesampling.org

ElicitN uses R and a tcltk gui interface for eliciting a number from an appropriate expert. The code has been modified from it's original version designed specifically for eliciting the number of species on coral reefs from expert taxonomists. For more information please refer to: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2011.11.011 Please also refer to GitHub for a even simpler more recently maintained version of the project: https://github.com/beckyfisher/ElicitN

A library of R packages for use in fisheries modelling, including the evaluation of management strategies and stock assessment.

An R package for visualising global scale data by easy import & display of country level & gridded data. Rworldmap will also provide access to existing datasets from earth to social sciences and facilitate their combination to provide insights for policy

R Tools for Biologists (RT4Bio) is a multi-functional package writen in R language developed in the Laboratory of Behavioral and Computational Ecology at State University of Montes Claros - MG - Brazil. Formerly known as RRJ.

rdv-framework is designed to evaluate and compare ecological conservation reserve selection alogrithms .

SimAssem is a tool for investigating the performances of species richness estimators across widely ranging assemblages and survey designs. Assemblages are simulated by specifying the: 1) number of species, 2) total abundance of individuals, 3) abundance distribution, 4) spatial configuration, 5) species detection probabilities, 6) survey design, and 7) number of grid cells to survey (out of a square grid comprised of 10,000 cells). SimAssem also processes existing encounter data and formats existing and simulated encounter data for other programs. SimAssem, along with the open source code, will hopefully give researchers and managers a tool for assessing the development of new estimators and evaluating potential decisions in a simulated environment. More information on SimAssem is given in Chapter 2, 'SimAssem: a program for simulating species assemblages and estimating species richness', in the dissertation 'Simulating species assemblages and evaluating species richness estimators'.

hSDM is an R package for hierarchical species distribution models. Such models allows interpreting the observations (occurrence and abundance of a species) as a result of several hierarchical processes including ecological processes (habitat suitability, spatial dependence and anthropogenic disturbance) and observation processes (species detectability). Hierarchical species distribution models are essential for accurately characterizing the environmental response of species, predicting their probability of occurrence, and assessing uncertainty in the model results.

R package for analysis of ichthyoplanckton data. Please visit the ichthyoanalysis WIKI for more information and for collaboration

Ensemble de fonctions permettant, à partir d'une base de données contenant les paramètres analyseurs, de réaliser les calculs d'incertitudes sur les mesures automatiques agrégrées de qualité de l'air.

phcfM is an R package for modelling anthropogenic deforestation. It was named after the REDD+ pilot-project 'programme holistique de conservation des forêts à Madagascar'. phcfM includes two main functions: (i) demography(), to model the population growth with time in a hierarchical Bayesian framework using population census data and Gaussian linear mixed models and (ii) deforestation(), to model the deforestation process in a hierarchical Bayesian framework using land-cover change data and Binomial logistic regression models with variable time-intervals between land-cover observations. The two functions use embedded Gibbs samplers written in C++ with the Scythe statistical library to reduce computational time.
