## Introduction

NOTE: this vignette is a bit out of date. Everything in it should still work (let us know if it doesn’t), but it doesn’t highlight the new functions from versions 0.3 and 0.4, such as `estStrength`, `estTransition`, and `diffMC`. The new master vignette links to all of those.

Technological advancements have spurred rapid growth in the study of migratory connectivity, the spatial and temporal linkage of migratory populations throughout the annual cycle. However, the lack of a quantitative definition for the strength of migratory connectivity (MC) has limited our ability to draw inferences across species, studies, and data types about the seasonal co-occurrence of populations. MC is a standardized metric to quantify migratory connectivity between two phases of the annual cycle. It is independent of data type and accounts for the relative abundance of populations distributed across a seasonal range. Negative values of MC indicate that individuals close to each other in one season are further apart in the other season. If MC = 0, no relationship exists between distances in one season and another; if MC = 1, the relative distances between individuals in one season are the same in the other, although the scale can differ.

Three data inputs are needed to calculate MC, and one is optional:

1. The probabilities of movement between regions (i.e., transition probabilities);

2. Distances between regions within the two distinct seasonal ranges (e.g., a matrix of distances between all regions within the breeding range and a matrix of distances between all regions within the non-breeding range);

3. Relative abundance among regions within the seasonal range from which the transition probabilities originate (e.g., relative abundance among breeding regions);

4. (Optional) Total sample size of animals used to estimate the transition probabilities.

MC takes the distances between the regions within the seasonal range from which the transition probabilities originate (e.g. breeding) and the distances between the regions within the other seasonal range (e.g. non-breeding) and approximates the correlation between individuals at those distances. Earlier methods (Mantel correlation; rM) used the correlation between two distance matrices of individual animals captured during the breeding phase and recaptured during the non-breeding phase as a measure of the strength of migratory connectivity. Our method builds on this method with a distance-based correlation coefficient approximation, but is not specific to a data type and uses transition probabilities from discreet regions, as opposed to distance matrices between individuals. Further, we include relative abundance within one seasonal range to account for uneven sampling among regions.

### Overview of Functions

1. `calcMC` calculates the strength of migratory connectivity (MC) with the transitional probabilities between regions, distances between regions within the two seasonal ranges, relative abundance among regions within the seasonal range from which the transition probabilities originate, and (optionally) the total sample size of the transitional probability data.

2. `estMC` estimates the strength of migratory connectivity (MC) with estimates of uncertainty. MC estimated either with transition probability estimates or individual assignments to regions from tracking data. Uses re-sampling to measure MC uncertainty from RMark transition probability matrix estimates and/or JAGS relative abundance MCMC samples OR geolocator and/or GPS data.

3. `simMove` Simulates annual movement of animals between regions across seasons for years and months with individual variability and strength of migratory connectivity (MC). Incorporates movement among regions within a season and movement among regions between seasons. Between seasons, animals either return to the same region each year or return to a different region in the subsequent year (dispersal). Between year dispersal rates occur during the first year (natal) or any subsequent year (breeding or non-breeding). Simulation does not incorporate births or deaths.

## Getting Started

### Installing ‘MigConnectivity’ from GitHub

In order to install the vignette along with the package use the following code with `build_vignettes = TRUE`. Note it takes quite a bit longer to download the package when `build_vignettes = TRUE`.

    install.packages('devtools')

    devtools::install_github("SMBC-NZP/MigConnectivity", build_vignettes = TRUE)

    library(MigConnectivity)

### Functions

`calcMC` Calculate strength of migratory connectivity (MC)
`estMC` Estimate the strength of migratory connectivity (MC) while incorporating sampling uncertainty
`simMove` Simulates annual and seasonal movement of animals between regions

       diag(outMat) <- 1 - rowSums(outMat)
       return(outMat)
    }

### EXAMPLE 1

### `calcMC` - Calculate strength of migratory connectivity

This function calculates the strength of migratory connectivity between populations during two different time periods within the annual cycle. Below, we illustrate how to calculate the strength of MC between three breeding and non-breeding regions.

To calculate the strength of MC, you will need:

1. to define the number of breeding and non-breeding regions
2. the distance between the breeding regions and the distance between the non-breeding regions
3. the transition probabilities between each breeding and non-breeding region (`psi`)
4. the relative abundance within each of the regions where individuals originate from (here the breeding regions)
5. (optional) the total sample size of animals used to estimate the transition probabilities.

### Calculate MC between breeding and non-breeding regions

Simple example with three breeding and three non-breeding regions

Define the number of breeding and non-breeding populations

    nBreeding <- 3 #number of breeding regions
    nNonBreeding <- 3 #number of non-breeding regions

Generate a distance matrix between the different regions

    #distances between centroids of three breeding regions
    breedDist <- matrix(c(0, 1, 2,
                          1, 0, 1,
                          2, 1, 0), nBreeding, nBreeding)

    #distances between centroids of three non-breeding regions
    nonBreedDist <- matrix(c(0, 5, 10,
                             5, 0, 5,
                            10, 5, 0), nNonBreeding, nNonBreeding)

Define the transition probabilities between the breeding and non-breeding regions

    #transition probabilities form each breeding to each non-breeding region
    psi <- matrix(c(0.4, 0.35, 0.25,
                    0.3, 0.4, 0.3,
                    0.2, 0.3, 0.5), nBreeding, nNonBreeding, byrow = TRUE)

Define the relative abundance within the three breeding regions

    #equal relative abundance among the three breeding regions, must sum to 1
    relN <- rep(1/nBreeding, nBreeding)

    relN
    #> [1] 0.3333333 0.3333333 0.3333333

    # Define total sample size for psi data
    # for small sample corrected version of MC

    n <- 250

Calculate the strength of migratory connectivity using the inputs above

    # Calculate the strength of migratory connectivity
    MC <- calcMC(originDist = breedDist,
                 targetDist = nonBreedDist,
                 originRelAbund = relN,
                 psi = psi)

    round(MC, 3)
    #> [1] 0.05

    MC <- calcMC(originDist = breedDist,
                 targetDist = nonBreedDist,
                 originRelAbund = relN,
                 psi = psi,
                 sampleSize = n)

    round(MC, 3)
    #> [1] 0.044

### EXAMPLE 2

### `estMC` - Estimate strength of migratory connectivity incorporating location and other sampling uncertainty

Estimates of MC may also be influenced by error in individual assignment to regions. Data types vary in location accuracy and precision, which are likely to influence the accuracy with which individuals are assigned to regions.

To estimate MC and include location uncertainty the following data are needed:

1. A logical vector indicating the type of device the location estimates were derived from (GPS = FALSE, Light-level geolocator = TRUE)
2. Location Bias - a vector that has error estimates for both longitude and latitude
3. Location error - a variance, covariance matrix of longitude and latitude
4. Distance matrix between breeding and non-breeding regions
5. A shapefile of both breeding and non-breeding regions
6. The deployment locations and the ‘unknown’ locations derived from the tracking devices
7. The relative (or absolute) abundance within each region where the birds originate from (deployment regions)

Below is a repeatable example for how to calculate location bias and location error using coordinates derived from light-level geolocators.

    # Load in projections
    data("projections")

    # Define deployment locations (winter) #
    captureLocations<-matrix(c(-77.93,18.04,   # Jamaica

                               -66.86,17.97),  # Puerto Rico
                                nrow=3, ncol=2, byrow = TRUE)

    colnames(captureLocations) <- c("Longitude","Latitude")

    # Convert capture locations into points #

    CapLocs <- sf::st_as_sf(data.frame(captureLocations),
                          coords = c("Longitude","Latitude"),

    # Project Capture locations #

    CapLocsM<-sf::st_transform(CapLocs, 'ESRI:54027')

    # Retrieve raw non-breeding locations from github
    # First grab the identity of the bird so we can loop through the files

We measured MC for bootstrapped data of birds tracked from breeding to non-breeding regions using light-level and GPS geolocation when 1) GPS location uncertainty was applied to all individuals, 2) GPS and light-level location uncertainty were applied to individuals with those devices, and 3) light-level location uncertainty was applied to all individuals.

Load location data that accompanies the `MigConnectivity` package. The location data are data from breeding Ovenbirds that were fit with Light-level geolocators or PinPoint-10 GPS tags.

The figure below shows the two breeding regions (squares), and the three non-breeding regions (gray scale) used in Cohen et al. (2018) to estimate MC for Ovenbirds tracked with light-level geolocators and PinPoint-10 GPS tags.

### EXAMPLE 3

### `simMove` Simulates position of animals by individual, season, year, and month

Calculate the strength of migratory connectivity based on simulation data for 10 years of movement between breeding and non-breeding seasonal ranges. Breeding and non-breeding ranges are equally divided into 100 regions on an ellipsoid globe. See above for details regarding the utility functions.

Simulate data to demonstrate the use of `calcMC`

    set.seed(75)

    # Parameters for simulations

    nSeasons <- 2 # population with two discrete seasons - breeding / non-breeding
    nYears <- 10 # Ten years of data
    nMonths <- 4 # Four months within each season

    nBreeding <- 100 # Number of populations
    nWintering <- 100 # Number of populations

Generate the spatial arrangement of breeding and non-breeding populations

    breedingPos <- matrix(c(rep(seq(-99,-81,2), each=sqrt(nBreeding)),
                            rep(seq(49,31,-2), sqrt(nBreeding))), nBreeding, 2)
    winteringPos <- matrix(c(rep(seq(-79,-61,2), each=sqrt(nWintering)),
                             rep(seq(9,-9,-2), sqrt(nWintering))), nWintering, 2)

    # calculate distance between populations
    breedDist <- distFromPos(breedingPos, 'ellipsoid')

    nonbreedDist <- distFromPos(winteringPos, 'ellipsoid')

The relative abundance of the study species is needed in each population. Here we generate those data below.

    # Breeding Abundance
    breedingN <- rep(500, nBreeding)
    breedingRelN <- breedingN/sum(breedingN)

The transition probability (psi) between the breeding and non-breeding populations is calculated below.

    # Set up psi matrix
    o <- optimize(mlogitMC, MC.in = 0.25, origin.dist = breedDist,
                  target.dist = nonbreedDist, origin.abund = breedingRelN,
                  sample.size = sum(breedingN),
                  interval = c(1, 3), tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.5)#

    slope <- o$minimum

    psi <- mlogitMat(slope, breedDist)

Now that we have all the data needed to calculate the strength of migratory connectivity we can use the `calcMC` function in the `MigConnecitivty` package to generate a standardized MC metric.

    # Baseline strength of migratory connectivity
    MC <- calcMC(originDist = breedDist,
                 targetDist = nonbreedDist,
                 psi = psi,
                 originRelAbund = breedingRelN,
                 sampleSize = sum(breedingN))

    # Show Results
    MC
    #> [1] 0.25

### `simMove` Simulation of movement between breeding and non-breeding

Recycle data generated for the calcMC function - see above

    sims <- simMove(breedingAbund = breedingN, # Breeding relative abundance
                   breedingDist = breedDist,  # Breeding distance
                   winteringDist = nonbreedDist, # Non-breeding distance
                   psi = psi, # Transition probabilities
                   nYears = nYears, # Number of years
                   nMonths = nMonths, # Number of months
                   winMoveRate = 0, # winter movement rate
                   sumMoveRate = 0, # breeding movement rate
                   winDispRate = 0, # winter dispersal rate
                   sumDispRate = 0, # summer disperal rate
                   natalDispRate = 0, # natal dispersal rate
                   breedDispRate = 0, # breeding dispersal rate
                   verbose = 0) # verbose output

    str(sims)

## Additional Examples / Scenarios

### EXAMPLE 4

Calculate migratory connectivity for a range of input values

Cohen et al. (2018) used simulation to assess the influence of the three data inputs needed to calculate MC, including:

1. matrix of transition probabilities from breeding regions to non-breeding regions
2. matrices of distances between breeding regions and between non-breeding regions
3. relative abundance among breeding regions.

Input value simulations included transition probabilities from four breeding to four non-breeding regions and relative abundance measured among breeding regions.

There were eight transition probability scenarios:

1. Full Mix
2. Avoid One Site
3. Full Connectivity
4. Half Mix
5. Low
6. Medium
7. One Site Preference
8. Negative

There were twelve spatial arrangement / distance scenarios:

1. Base distances, linear/ linear
2. Distance between breeding sites 2 and 3 doubled
3. Distance between breeding sites 2 and 3 halved
4. Distance between breeding sites 3 and 4 doubled
5. Distance between breeding sites 3 and 4 halved
6. Breeding sites on square grid/ winter linear
7. Distance between wintering sites 2 and 3 doubled
8. Distance between wintering sites 2 and 3 halved
9. Distance between wintering sites 3 and 4 doubled
10. Distance between wintering sites 3 and 4 halved
11. Breeding linear, Wintering sites on square grid
12. Wintering and breeding on square grid

There were five relative breeding abundance scenarios:

1. Base, all equal
2. Abundance at site B doubled
3. Abundance at site B halved
4. Abundance at site D doubled
5. Abundance at site D halved

First we calculate MC for the eight transition probability scenarios (with base spatial arrangement and relative abundance):

    nScenarios1 <- length(samplePsis) # samplePsis - comes with MigConnectivity package

    # Create vector of length nScenarios1
    MC1 <- rep(NA, nScenarios1)

    # Loop through the different senarios outlined above #
    for (i in 1:nScenarios1) {
      MC1[i] <- calcMC(originDist = sampleOriginDist[[1]],
                     targetDist = sampleTargetDist[[1]],
                     psi = samplePsis[[i]],
                     originRelAbund = sampleOriginRelN[[1]])
    }

    # Give meaningful names to the MC1 vector
    names(MC1) <- names(samplePsis)

    # Print results
    round(MC1, 6)
    #>            Full Mix      Avoid One Site   Full Connectivity            Half Mix
    #>            0.000000            0.000000            1.000000            0.600000
    #>                 Low              Medium One Site Preference            Negative
    #>            0.196000            0.504000            0.164145           -0.066560

Add the scenarios for the spatial arrangements that result in different distances between regions:

    nScenarios2 <- length(sampleOriginPos)

    MC2 <- matrix(NA, nScenarios1, nScenarios2)

    rownames(MC2) <- names(samplePsis)

    colnames(MC2) <- names(sampleOriginPos)

    for (i in 1:nScenarios1) {
      for (j in 1:nScenarios2) {
        MC2[i, j] <- calcMC(originDist = sampleOriginDist[[j]],
                          targetDist = sampleTargetDist[[j]],
                          psi = samplePsis[[i]],
                          originRelAbund = sampleOriginRelN[[1]])
      }
    }

    # Print results #
    t(round(MC2, 4))

###EXAMPLES 5-12 (from sampling regime simulations in Cohen et al. 2018)

Simulation was used to assess the influence of biased or incomplete sampling on the measurement of MC. Below, we measure the influence of several potential sources of sampling error:

1. Incorrect grouping of seasonal ranges into regions
2. Sampling not proportional to abundance
3. Migratory connectivity strength varies across a range
4. Low sample size
5. Uncertainty in assignments to regions from tracking data
6. Uncertainty in estimates of abundance
7. Heterogeneity in detection among regions from mark re-encounter data

We also demonstrate how to propagate sampling uncertainty into measurement of MC using a combination of parametric and non-parametric bootstrapping. For most simulations, we compare MC to the results of a distance-based correlation coefficient (Mantel correlation; rM) that does not incorporate relative abundance but has been used as a measure of migratory connectivity.

###EXAMPLE 5

Sampling regime 1 of 3

Researchers divide populations differently than reality Delineation of seasonal ranges into regions

1. Breeding range divided along equal longitudinal breaks into ten regions
2. Non-breeding range divided along equal longitudinal breaks into ten regions
3. Breeding and non-breeding ranges divided along equal longitudinal breaks into ten regions
4. Breeding range divided along the longitudinal and latitudinal midpoint into four regions
5. Non-breeding range divided along the longitudinal and latitudinal midpoint into four regions
6. Breeding range divided along the longitudinal and latitudinal midpoint into four regions and non-breeding range divided along equal longitudinal breaks into ten regions
7. Breeding range divided along equal longitudinal breaks into ten regions and non-breeding range divided along the longitudinal and latitudinal midpoint into four regions

###EXAMPLE 6

Sampling regime 2 of 3

Researchers divide populations differently than reality PLUS
Different distributions of sampling animals across breeding range PLUS
Sample sizes don’t always match relative abundances PLUS
Compare our approach and simple Mantel approach

1. Base (10 years, uneven abundances but matches sampling)
2. Breeding pops divided into 4 squares, sample across breeding range
3. Breeding pops divided into 4 squares, sample at centroid of each square
4. Sampling high in low abundance populations plus base
5. Scenarios 2 plus 4
6. Scenarios 3 plus 4

###EXAMPLE 7 Sampling regime 3 of 3 Researchers divide populations differently than reality (simulations) PLUS Different distributions of sampled animals across breeding range PLUS Sample sizes don’t always match relative abundances PLUS Compare our approach and simple Mantel approach PLUS MC not same across subsections of range

1. Base (uneven MC (0.15 for NW breeding, 0.3 for SW, 0.45 for NE, and 0.6 for SE), uneven abundances (lowest in NW, highest in SE), sampling proportional to abundance
2. Breeding pops divided into 4 squares, sample across breeding range
3. Breeding pops divided into 4 squares, sample at centroid of each square
4. Sampling high in low abundance populations
5. Scenarios 2 plus 4
6. Scenarios 3 plus 4

###EXAMPLE 8 `estMC` Estimate strength of migratory connectivity incorporating uncertainty from limited sample size (no other sampling error). Here we simulated data using the 13th scenario from example 5 above (“CentroidSampleBreeding4”; make sure you run example 5 code before running this section). We changed the total sample size from 1000 to 100 animals and the total abundance from 50000 to 2500 animals.

###EXAMPLE 10 `estMC` Estimate strength of migratory connectivity incorporating uncertainty in estimates of breeding abundance (see estMC help file)

###EXAMPLE 11 `estMC` Estimate strength of migratory connectivity incorporating detection heterogeneity (see estMC help file)

###EXAMPLE 12 `estMC` Estimate strength of migratory connectivity incorporating location uncertainty

Estimates of MC may also be influenced by error in individual assignment to regions. Data types vary in location accuracy and precision, which are likely to influence the accuracy with which individuals are assigned to regions. We measured MC for bootstrapped data of birds tracked from breeding to non-breeding regions using light-level and GPS geolocation when 1) GPS location uncertainty was applied to all individuals, 2) GPS and light-level location uncertainty were applied to individuals with those devices, and 3) light-level location uncertainty was applied to all individuals. See Example 2 above and estMC help file.

###EXAMPLE 13 (from process error simulation in Cohen et al. 2018)

`simMove` for measuring the influence of dispersal rates on MC

Long-distance dispersal occurs when individuals that originate or breed in one population do not return to the same population to breed the next year. To quantify the sensitivity of MC to dispersal, we used simulations in which dispersal probability between breeding regions varied from low to high to measure the sensitivity of MC to dispersal.
