Overview

About

Maintained by Mary E. BlairCRAN page ↗Website ↗

The 'shiny' application Wallace is a modular platform for reproducible modeling of species niches and distributions. Wallace guides users through a complete analysis, from the acquisition of species occurrence and environmental data to visualizing model predictions on an interactive map, thus bundling complex workflows into a single, streamlined interface. An extensive vignette, which guides users through most package functionality can be found on the package's GitHub Pages website: https://wallaceecomod.github.io/wallace/articles/tutorial-v2.html.

Changes in 2.2.1

Fixed image paths in the Team section.
Enabled support for models with categorical variables when using ENMeval > 2.0.5.
Fixed an issue occurring during model transfer to new areas or time periods when using BIOCLIM or Maxent.jar.
Fixed a loading error triggered by selecting multiple species in Environmental Space.
Integrated the drawing functionality of leaflet.extras directly into wallace to streamline dependencies.
Fixed an issue with session code generation when visualizing map predictions and transferring to a new time period.
Fixed UI rendering issue where the power-off icon was hidden on macOS.
Fixed an issue affecting Maxent models when using terra > '1.9.11'.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

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

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

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-wallace

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-wallace

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

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-wallace

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
