Overview

About

Maintained by Johannes De GroeveCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

A standardized workflow to reconstruct spatial configurations of altitude-bounded biogeographic systems over time. For example, 'tabs' can model how island archipelagos expand or contract with changing sea levels or how alpine biomes shift in response to tree line movements. It provides functionality to account for various geophysical processes such as crustal deformation and other tectonic changes, allowing for a more accurate representation of biogeographic system dynamics. For more information see De Groeve et al. (2025) doi:10.21425/fob.18.151677.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("tabs", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("uva_ibed_piac/tabs")

Development version from uva_ibed_piac/tabs. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-tabs

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-tabs

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
