The main propose of this package is the capability of run time-specific ecological niche models.
We start with a simple example to show the basic functions of the package. We will work with a dataset of Abronia graminea, an endemic lizard from the Mexican Sierra Madre Oriental.
First, we load the tenm R package.
Now we load the abronia dataset, which contains
geographical information about the presence of Abronia graminea
in its area of distribution. This dataset has also information about the
year of observation and the GBIF
doi.

Fig. 1. Occurrence points of Abronia graminea. Colors represent the year of observation.
Note that some occurrences are overlapped but belong to different years.
A relevant step when curating occurrence data is to eliminate
duplicated geographical information, which depends on several factors,
including spatial autocorrelation and the spatial resolution of the
modeling layers. Let’s see what happens when we eliminate duplicated
information as defined by the spatial resolution of our modeling layers.
To do this, we will use the tenm::clean_dup function of the
tenm R package.
# Load a modeling layer
tempora_layers_dir <- system.file("extdata/bio",package = "tenm")
tenm_mask <- terra::rast(file.path(tempora_layers_dir,"1939/bio_01.tif"))
ab_1 <- tenm::clean_dup(data =abronia,
longitude = "decimalLongitude",
latitude = "decimalLatitude",
threshold = terra::res(tenm_mask),
by_mask = FALSE,
raster_mask = NULL)

observations from 106 occurrences. We lost a lot of information!!! The
function tenm::clean_dup has a method to clean duplicated
records according to a raster mask layer. The above avoids losing
records that might occur in different pixels but fall within the
distance used as threshold for cleaning.

account for the fact that some occurrences come from different years.
The tenm package is designed to deal with occurrences
coming from different periods as long as the user has environmental
layers matching the years of occurrence observations.
Let’s apply the functions and methods to work with time-specific niche models. First, we load our data.
Now, we indicate the path where our time-specific modeling layers are located.

In the following lines of code, we will use a special function of the
tenm R package that will allow us to work with
time-specific data.
data("abronia")
tempora_layers_dir <- system.file("extdata/bio",package = "tenm")
abt <- tenm::sp_temporal_data(occs = abronia,
longitude = "decimalLongitude",
latitude = "decimalLatitude",
sp_date_var = "year",
occ_date_format="y",
layers_date_format= "y",
layers_by_date_dir = tempora_layers_dir,
layers_ext="*.tif$")The function tenm::sp_temporal_data is parametrized with
the occurrence dated database. To parametrize the function, we need to
specify the name of the columns that contain the longitude and latitude
data, the column that represents the year of observation, the format of
dates (here years, but see the help of the function for other date
formats), the layers date format, the directory that contains the
time-specific modeling layers and the raster layer extension.
The object abt is a special class called
sp.temporal.modeling that deals with time-specific
information.
In the following line of code, we explore the slots of
abt object.
# See the names of the slots
names(abt)
#> [1] "temporal_df" "sp_date_var" "lon_lat_vars" "layers_ext"The abt object has four slots: temporal data.frame
(“temporal_df”), a character vector indicating the date variable
(“sp_date_var”), a character vector showing the names of longitude and
latitude data (“lon_lat_vars”) and another character vector with the
extension of the modeling layers.
Now, we explore the temporal_df slot, which is a data.frame with five columns: longitude, latitude, the time variable (here year), the layer dates, and layers path (the path the temporal niche layers are located).

function tenm::clean_dup_by_date. This function is
parametrized as the tenm::clean_dup function with the
difference that it thins the data considering the time variable (some
occurrences might be spatially duplicated but belong to other dates, so
in a time-specific context, they are not duplicates).

#> [1] 40An improvement of this methodology is that we recover a lot of information. From 10 records thinned using the standard data cleaning process, now we have 40 records; 30 more observations!!! which will allow us to fit more informative models. Let’s compare occurrences from the standard data cleaning process and the time-specific thinning process.

Fig. 2. Comparison of the spatial distribution of occurrence records for the standard thinning processs and the time-specific thinning process. Left panel shows the records after the standard thinning process. Right panel shows the spatial distribution of the records after the time-specific thinning process; note that some records overlap but are from different years.
After the spatial thinning process, we need to extract environmental
information from our occurrence points. The tenm package
does this using the function tenm::ex_by_date. This
function can be run in parallel by evoking functions of the
future package. To parametrize the function, we need to
specify the “sp.temporal.modeling” object (obtained using the function
tenm::sp_temporal_data or the one from
tenm::clean_dup_by_date) and the proportion of occurrences
to be used as the training dataset. The tenm package uses a
random partition to divide the database into train and test
datasets.

The tenm package uses environmental background to
compute the ROC and partial ROC test and estimate the prevalence of the
species in the environmental space (proportion of environmental points
inside the niche model). We will generate 10,000 environmental
background points using as calibration area and a neighborhood of 10
pixels around each occurrence point (buffer_ngbs parameter).

Although the package uses minimum volume ellipsoids to model the niche, it has a function to export the time-specific data to Samples With Data format table that allows users to fit other algorithms such as MaxEnt. Let’s see how it works.

minimum volume ellipsoids. To achieve this, we first select the
environmental variables using the function
tenm::correlation_finder. This function filters variables
according to a correlation threshold, which is important to avoid issues
related to collinearity.
varcorrs <- tenm::correlation_finder(environmental_data =
abex$env_data[,-ncol(abex$env_data)],
method = "spearman",
threshold = 0.8,
verbose = FALSE)
#> Warning in stats::cor(environmental_data, method = method): the standard
#> deviation is zero
# Selected variables
vars2fit <- varcorrs$descriptors
print(vars2fit)

#> [9] "bio_17"Now, we use the function tenm::tenm_selection to
calibrate the time-specific niche models. This function uses the
background object (here, the abbg object) as input. To
parametrize the function, we need to specify the omission rate criteria
to be used to select the models, the proportion of points to be included
in the ellipsoid model (ellipsoid_level parameter), the names
of the modeling layers (vars2fit parameter), a numeric vector
indicating the number of dimensions used to build ellipsoid models
(vars2fit parameter) a logical argument that determines whether
to use the partial ROC test or not, the random percent of data to be
used for the bootstrap of the partial ROC test (RandomPercent
parameter), the number of iterations of the partial ROC test
(NoOfIteration parameter), a logical argument to specify
whether to run the calibration process in parallel and the number of
cores used in the parallel process (parallel parameter).

Fig. 6. Time-specific niche model vs. standard niche model. Pink ellipsoid represents the time-specific niche model. Green ellipsoid represents a ellipsoid model fitted using the standard approach.
Note that both ellipsoids differ in size and shape. In standard approach (green ellipsoid), we can see an sub-estimation of the environmental values where the intrinsic growth rate might be positive.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
