the abundance data for each species were standardized when creating heatmaps to achieve a good color effect on the heatmap, even when the abundance data varied greatly. The heatmap of invasive plant distribution was created using ‘ggplot2’, ‘reshape2’, and ‘viridis’ in the R language ...
to map the historic distributions of kiwi throughout New Zealand, as well as lost genetic diversity. The restoration and conservation of today's biodiversity is best achieved with a thorough understanding of how and why it has changed over time. These studies demonstrate how the population history...
