Exploring Nutrient Availability and Herbivorous Insect Population Dynamics Across Multiple Scales

DOI

Overview

This repository contains the data and code supporting the publication:

Lawton et al. (2024). Exploring Nutrient Availability and Herbivorous Insect Population Dynamics Across Multiple Scales. Oikos. DOI: [To be added]

The study examines how nutrient availability influences herbivore populations at different spatial scales, using a combination of field experiments, remote sensing data, and spatial modeling.

Repository Structure

The repository is organized into major sections, each containing analysis scripts and associated data:

  • field_populations/ - Analyses related to field population studies.
    • choice_intake_target_experiment/
    • no_choice_intake_target_experiment/
  • field_cages/ - Investigations of locust survival, growth, and nutrient intake.
    • grass_nutrient_analysis/
    • locust_survival_growth_analysis/
    • locust_intake_target_analysis/
  • spatial_modeling/ - Spatial analyses and predictive modeling.
    • fishnet_grid_construction/
    • remote_sensing_data_extraction/
    • raw_data_visualization/
    • modeling/
    • post_modeling_visualization/

Notebooks within each subfolder are numbered sequentially (e.g., 01_analysis.Rmd, 02_modeling.Rmd) to indicate the order of execution.

Requirements

This project uses both R and Python for data analysis. Dependencies are managed via renv (R) and a virtual environment (myenv) for Python.

Software Requirements

  • Python 3.x (dependencies managed via myenv)
  • R 4.x (dependencies managed via renv)

Installation

Clone the repository and set up the required environments:

bash git clone https://github.com/username/repository-name.git cd repository-name

Python Setup

Activate the Python virtual environment: bash conda activate myenv # or use `source myenv/bin/activate` if using virtualenv

R Setup

Restore the R package environment: r install.packages("renv") renv::restore()

Data Availability

The datasets used in this study are archived on Zenodo and will be available upon publication. DOI: [To be added]

Reproducibility

To reproduce the analyses, follow these steps: 1. Ensure all dependencies are installed (see above). 2. Navigate to the relevant analysis subfolder (e.g., spatial_modeling/modeling/). 3. Run the scripts in sequential order.
