Code and data files: Intraguild interactions drive community dynamics in invasive ants

This page includes the R script and data files required to replicate the analyses performed in the manuscript entitled "Intraguild interactions drive community dynamics in invasive ants". This work formed part of a PhD by Maximillian PTG Tercel to study the ecology of non-native ants on Round Island, Mauritius (funded by NERC, grant number NE/L002434/1). The analyses performed includes: Analysis of diet composition differences between ant species and seasons using R package 'mvabund' Visualisation of diet composition via NMDS Analysis of whether ants consume other ants as expected or disproportionate to their abundance using R package 'econullnetr' Co-occurrence analysis of ants inhabiting quadrats using R package 'cooccur' Analysis of behaviour dominance and building of dominance hierarchies using R package 'aniDom' Analysis of foraging time and relevant basic statistics using R package 'rstatix' Construction of hypergraphs to determine the extent of potential exploitation competition using R packages 'DHARMa', 'igraph', 'emmeans', and 'scatterpie' Additional R packages were used functionally as laid out in the R script.本页面包含了复现题为《集团内互作（intraguild interactions）驱动入侵蚁类的群落动态》的手稿中所有分析所需的R脚本与数据文件。本研究是马克西米利安·PTG·特塞尔（Maximillian PTG Tercel）博士论文的一部分，旨在探究毛里求斯圆岛上的非本土蚁类生态学，该研究由自然环境研究理事会（Natural Environment Research Council, NERC）资助，项目编号为NE/L002434/1。 本次开展的分析内容包括： 1. 借助R包'mvabund'分析不同蚁类物种与季节间的食谱组成差异； 2. 通过非度量多维尺度分析（Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling, NMDS）实现食谱组成的可视化； 3. 借助R包'econullnetr'分析蚁类取食其他蚁类的模式是否符合预期，或与其自身丰度不成比例； 4. 借助R包'cooccur'对栖息于样方内的蚁类开展共现性分析； 5. 借助R包'aniDom'分析蚁类的行为优势度并构建优势等级层级； 6. 借助R包'rstatix'分析蚁类的觅食时长及相关基础统计指标； 7. 借助R包'DHARMa'、'igraph'、'emmeans'与'scatterpie'构建超图，以明确潜在的资源利用竞争程度。 另有其他R包按照R脚本中的设定功能性地参与了本次分析。
