The Caribbean Macrosystems project aims to better understand the processes that shape the biodiveristy of the Caribbean bioregion. Further, we seek to describe how the anthropogenic movement of species alters the biogeographic relationships of the Caribbean and community assembly.
In order to do this, we have broken up the Caribbean Macrosystems project into four smaller projects each with the goal of answering important questions about island biogeography thoery, drivers of beta-diversity, species coexistence, and the role of economic factors in the spread of species.
In order to run the analyses for this project you will need to install the following packages for data manipulation, the use of biodiversity databases, spatial analyses, phylogenetic analyses, statistical analyses, and graphing.
