AAP Project 4501: Mapping, predicting and monitoring ecological change in the Southern Ocean - Southern Ocean zooplankton

Zooplankton are important component of the Southern Ocean ecosystem yet so little is known about the distribution of most species and how this has changes through time. The project used existing data collect from the Southern Ocean Continuous Plankton Recorder Program ( https://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/cpr/index.cfm). CPR data from 2000 to 2016 was extracted from the database and paired with environmental data (SST, SST anomaly, IOD, SAM, mixed layer depth). Hierarchical Models of Species Communities (HMSC) was used to model the zooplankton community to make inferences and predictions on the distribution of species and how they have changed through time.

Statement
Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities (Hmsc), a flexible framework for Joint Species Distribution Modelling (JSDMs), was used to analyse zooplankton community data collected by continuous plankton recorder (CPR) in the Southern OCean. For more information on the methodology behind the CPR sampling please refer to associated publication. CPR data is publically accesible via https://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/cpr/index.cfm. Raw data that went into the Hmsc model is attached. Rasters of the environmental data relevant to zooplankton analysis were sourced from various databases and data products and matched with the CPR data locations For further information on the data and rasters used please refer to the publication. All environmental data used in the modelling are freely available and supplied R code outlines how the data were wrangled and used in the modelling process Annotated R code is provided to: 1) CPR data wrangling 2) Environmental data wrangling 3) Hmsc modelling and evaluation 4) Plotting 5) Predicting and mapping Outputs, including predictive maps, from the Hmsc model are also publicly available.
