sit is a R-package currently on active development, after a thorough
analysis of
requirements.
Import data about traps, release events and field surveys into
a sit object. Then, query the sit object for estimates of
competitiveness, dispersal, survival and wild-population
density.

First, you need to load the package.
library(sit)
We use some fake data for demonstration purposes. See ?fake_sit.
Trap data: set up a sf table of points with trap coordinates
(see,
st_as_sf(),
for instance), identification code, type (see sit_trap_types())
and area (sit/control). Use sit_traps() to import into a
sit_traps object.
fake_traps
#> Simple feature collection with 5 features and 3 fields
#> Geometry type: POINT
#> Dimension: XY
#> Bounding box: xmin: -1 ymin: -1 xmax: 2 ymax: 2
#> CRS: NA
#> id type area geometry
#> 1 a OVT sit POINT (1 1)
#> 2 b BGS sit POINT (2 1)
#> 3 c HLC sit POINT (1 2)
#> 4 d BGS sit POINT (2 2)
#> 5 e OVT control POINT (-1 -1)
my_traps <- sit_traps(fake_traps)
Release events: releases can be performed from a single point
or homogeneously over the sit area. Set up a table with release
dates, colour and number of individuals. For point releases
include release coordinates and make it a sf object. Lacking
geographical coordinates, sit will interpret it as a areal
release.
fake_rpoints
#> Simple feature collection with 3 features and 3 fields
#> Geometry type: POINT
#> Dimension: XY
#> Bounding box: xmin: 1 ymin: 1 xmax: 2 ymax: 2
#> CRS: NA
#> date colour n geometry
#> 1 2019-11-25 yellow 10000 POINT (1 2)
#> 2 2019-12-01 red 10000 POINT (2 1)
#> 3 2019-12-13 blue 10000 POINT (1 2)
fake_rareal
#> date colour n
#> 1 2019-12-21 pink 1000
#> 2 2020-01-09 purple 1000
Use sit_revents() to import into sit_revents objects and
combine different release types into a single sit_revents object
with c().
my_releases <- c(
sit_revents(fake_rpoints),
sit_revents(fake_rareal)
)
Field survey data: field data are collected at adult or egg
stages of development, depending on the trap type (see
sit_trap_types())
Field data from adult surveys can be imported using
sit_adult_surveys() from a table such as:
fake_adults
#> trap survey duration population species sex n
#> 1 b 2019-12-16 7 blue aeg male 10
#> 2 d 2019-11-27 7 yellow aeg male 20
#> 3 c 2019-11-27 7 wild aeg female 30
#> 4 d 2019-12-25 7 pink aeg male 40
#> 5 d 2019-12-25 7 wild aeg male 50
my_asurveys <- sit_adult_surveys(fake_adults)
Field data from egg surveys, include other information such as the hatching rate:
fake_eggs
#> trap survey duration fertile n
#> 1 a 2019-12-01 7 TRUE 15
#> 2 a 2019-12-22 7 FALSE 30
#> 3 a 2019-12-22 7 TRUE 45
#> 4 e 2019-11-15 7 TRUE 60
my_eggsurveys <- sit_egg_surveys(fake_eggs)
Combine all the information into a sit object using sit():
my_sit <- sit(
traps = my_traps,
release_events = my_releases,
adult_surveys = my_asurveys,
egg_surveys = my_eggsurveys
)
Query your sit object for estimates of competitiveness,
dispersal, survival and wild-population density.
This toy example requires disabling the spatial_adjustment because
there are too few traps in this unrealistic situation. But this is
not the case in general. See Retrieving Results
for details on the spatial adjustment.

install.packages("sit")
This installs binary packages for Windows and MacOS, unless you configured R to install source packages. In such case, see below.
sit uses the geospatial libraries GDAL, GEOS and Proj.4, via the
R-package sf.
Dependencies for recent versions of Ubuntu (18.04 and later) are available in the official repositories; you can install them with:
apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y libudunits2-dev libgdal-dev libgeos-dev libproj-dev
For Fedora, Arch or source installation in Windows or Mac, please refer
to the installation instructions for
sf.
Bug reports and feature requests should be posted on GitLab using the issue system.
For support, reach out in the sit mailing list. Archives are of public access.
