ecospat.shift.centroids: Draw Centroid Arrows

Description

Draw arrows linking the centroid of the native and exotic (non-native) distribution (continuous line) and between native and invaded extent (dashed line).

Usage

ecospat.shift.centroids(sp1, sp2, clim1, clim2,col)

Arguments

sp1
The scores of the species native distribution along the the two first axes of the PCA.
sp2
The scores of the species invasive distribution along the the two first axes of the PCA.
clim1
The scores of the entire native extent along the the two first axes of the PCA.
clim2
The scores of the entire invaded extent along the the two first axes of the PCA.
col
Colour of the arrow.

Value

Details

Allows to visualize the shift of the niche centroids of the species and the centroids of the climatic conditions in the study area. To compare invasive species niche, the arrow links the centroid of the native and inasive distribution (continuous line) and between native and invaded extent (dashed line).
