The dataset has been prepared for you to explore, making it suitable for both study and practice with real-world ecological data. In this vignette we provide short examples of how to manipulate and visualize the dataset, but you are encouraged to develop your own creative approaches for analysis and visualization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the glimpse of your data : ```{r, echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} library(dplyr) library(ecotourism) data("orchids") orchids |> glimpse() ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Visualization ### Spatial Distribution Map Distribution of Occurrence Orchids Sightings in Australia ```{r echo=TRUE, fig.width=6, fig.height=4, eval=TRUE} library(ggplot2) library(ggthemes) orchids |> ggplot() + geom_sf(data = oz_lga) + geom_point( aes(x = obs_lon, y = obs_lat), color = "red", alpha = 0.5, size = 0.3) + theme_map() ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly Trends Weekday Distribution of Orchids Sightings ```{r echo=TRUE, fig.width=6, fig.height=4, eval=TRUE} week_order <- c("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday") orchids |> ggplot(aes(x = factor(weekday, levels = week_order))) + geom_bar() + labs(x = "Weekday", y = "Number of Records") + theme_minimal() ``` Monthly Distribution of Orchids Sightings ```{r echo=TRUE, fig.width=6, fig.height=4, eval=TRUE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} library(lubridate) orchids |> dplyr::mutate(month = month(month, label = TRUE, abbr = TRUE)) |> ggplot(aes(x = factor(month))) + geom_bar() + labs(x = "Month", y = "Number of Records") + theme_minimal() ``` Yearly Distribution of Orchids Sightings ```{r echo=TRUE, fig.width=6, fig.height=4, eval=TRUE} orchids |> ggplot(aes(x = factor(year))) + geom_bar() + labs(x = "Year", y = "Number of Records") + theme_minimal() ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Relational visualization We want to see if `orchids` occurrences are related to precipitation on the same day from the weather dataset. Here’s a short R script that: 1. Joins `orchids` with **weather** using `ws_id` and `date`. 2. Counts daily occurrences. 3. Plots precipitation vs number of `orchids` sightings. ```{r, echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.width=6, fig.height=4} library(ggbeeswarm) # Prepare orchids occurrence counts per day orchids_daily <- orchids |> group_by(ws_id, date) |> summarise(occurrence = n(), .groups = "drop") # Join with weather data for precipitation orchids_weather <- orchids_daily |> left_join(weather |> select(ws_id, date, prcp), by = c("ws_id", "date")) orchids_weather |> filter(!is.na(prcp)) |> mutate(rain = if_else(prcp > 5, "yes", "no")) |> ggplot(aes(x = rain, y = occurrence)) + geom_quasirandom(alpha = 0.6) + ylim(c(0, 15)) + labs( title = "Relationship between rainy day and orchids occurrence", x = "Rainy", y = "Number of orchids records" ) + theme_minimal() ``` ```{r, echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.width=6, fig.height=4} orchids_weather <- orchids_daily |> left_join( weather |> select(ws_id, date, temp, prcp), by = c("ws_id", "date") ) ggplot(orchids_weather, aes(temp, occurrence, color = prcp)) + geom_point(alpha = 0.5) + scale_color_viridis_c() + labs( title = "Orchids occurrence vs temperature, colored by precipitation", x = "Mean daily temperature (°C)", y = "Occurrences", color = "Precipitation (mm)" ) + theme_minimal() ```
