The echinoderm project on iNaturalist

This repository contains the code and data to generate the papers submitted about the echinoderm project on iNaturalist.

About the project

We started a project on Echinoderms at iNaturalist to gather observations worldwide, and across taxa. Our goal is to improve our knowledge of species distributions, variation, and biology, and to educate the public about the diversity of Echinoderms.

How to run the code?

You need:

• a functional LaTeX installation (here I use XeTeX)
• R with the following packages:
  • knitr
  • ggplot2
  • wesanderson
  • taxizesoap

The project includes a Makefile, so if you have make installed, typing make all inside the folder will generate the manuscript in PDF format.

If you don't have make, you can first generate the tex file in R:

library(knitr)
knit("2015-Michonneau+Paulay-ReefEncounters.Rnw")

and then compile the file generated (iNaturalist-paper.tex) using XeTeX.

(I used Ubuntu 14.10 to generate the files included in this repository.)
