The aim of this case study is to design and demonstrate the existence of nutrient concentration threshold which limits the beta-diversity of communities. To fulfill this aim, we designed a gradient of environments, as well as a gradient of communities. ## Load dependencies ```{r deps} library(ggplot2) library(vegan) library(reshape2) library(miaSim) library(philentropy) library(cluster) ``` This batch of simulations is time-consuming. To reduce the calculation burden, we have decreased the numbers of environments, resources, and communities from the original 10 to 5, and made other minor modifications. ## Set random seed and initial shared parameters ```{r pars} set.seed(42) n_species <- 5 n_resources <- 5 E <- randomE(n_species, n_resources, mean_consumption = 1, mean_production = 3) growth_rates <- runif(n_species) monod_constant <- matrix(rbeta(n_species*n_resources, 10,10), nrow=n_species, ncol=n_resources) t_store <- 50 n.instances <- 1 # no stochastic process: no need to repeat ``` ## Generating function This function generates a data frame, where each row is arranged in an increasing dissimilarity to the first row. ```{r funcs} gradient.df.generator <- function(n_row, n_col, density_row, max_gradient, error_interval){ list_initial <- list() dissimilarity.gradient <- seq(from = 0, to = max_gradient, length.out = n_row) for (i in seq_len(n_row)){ print(i) if (i == 1){ row_temp <- rbeta(n_col, 1, 1/n_col) col_to_remove <- sample(x = seq_len(n_col), size = n_col-n_col*density_row) row_temp[col_to_remove] <- 0 list_initial[[i]] <- row_temp } else { while (length(list_initial) < i) { row_temp <- rbeta(n_col, 1, 1/n_col) col_to_remove <- sample(x = seq_len(n_col), size = n_col-n_col*density_row) row_temp[col_to_remove] <- 0 diff_temp <- abs(vegdist(rbind(list_initial[[1]], row_temp), method = "bray") - dissimilarity.gradient[i]) if (diff_temp < error_interval) { list_initial[[i]] <- row_temp } } } } dataframe_to_return <- as.data.frame(t(matrix(unlist(list_initial), ncol = n_row))) return(dataframe_to_return) } ``` ## generate communities ```{r gen} n.community <- 5 # you can also try 20 or even 50. density.community <- 0.8 set.seed(42) community.initial.df <- gradient.df.generator(n_row = n.community, n_col = n_species, density_row = density.community, max_gradient = 0.7, error_interval = 0.1) dist.community.initial.df <- vegdist(community.initial.df, method = "bray") community.initial.tse <- TreeSummarizedExperiment(assays=SimpleList(abundances=t(as.matrix(community.initial.df)))) ``` ##

Make UMAP plots ## In this step, plot result is stored in umap_CRM_gradient_plot, and ## this is visualized in different facets. resourceConcentration <- 10^seq(0,4,1) # 1 to 10000 n.medium <- 5 n.community <- 5 concentration <- as.factor(rep(resourceConcentration, each = n.medium*n.community)) medium <- as.factor(rep(seq_len(n.medium), each = n.community ,times = length(resourceConcentration) )) community <- as.factor(rep(seq_len(n.community), times = length(resourceConcentration)*n.medium)) # Visualize with UMAP ## Provide the community data as TreeSE object library(scater) tse <- TreeSummarizedExperiment( assays=SimpleList(abundances=t(as.matrix(basisComposition))), colData=DataFrame(Medium=medium, Concentration=concentration, Community=community ) ) ##

Visualization of the results In this part, different visualization of results demonstrate (in various facets) the gradual change of communities' beta diversity. The first figure indicates that the initial community composition is more important than the combinations of initial available resources. The first sub-figure in the second figure demonstrates that in an oligotrophic (less available nutrients) environment, communities won't change much in a given time, whilst the last two sub-figures resemble each other, implying that the nutrient is no longer the limiting factor of the beta-diversity of the community. This pattern is further displayed in the following "curve plot". In the third figure, the second and the th community always stays more similar, despite their initial dissimilarity, indicating that they might belong to one community type. This can be validated by input 20 or even 50 as n.community in this case study: communities turns into clusters in each sub-figures. ```{r umapplots, eval=FALSE} # FIXME: the visual output can be polished later. print(umap_CRM_gradient_plot) umap_CRM_gradient_plot + facet_grid(size_by ~ ., labeller = label_both) umap_CRM_gradient_plot + facet_grid(colour_by ~ size_by, labeller = label_both) umap_CRM_gradient_plot + facet_grid(shape_by ~ size_by, labeller = label_both) umap_CRM_gradient_plot + facet_grid(shape_by ~ colour_by, labeller = label_both) ``` ## Saturation curve Saturation curve of average beta-diversity between communities with community 1. In this part, we demonstrate that the average distance from other communities to community 1 will reach to a threshold of nutrients, after which the average distance won't increase along with the total concentration of nutrients. Let us first define a function calculating the mean distance to the first community. ## construct a function taking umap_CRM_coor as df and return the mean distance ```{r misc, eval=FALSE} average_distance <- function(df, res_conc_type, com_type, method = "euclidean"){ sub_df <- df[df$concentration == res_conc_type & df$community == com_type,] combines <- combn(sub_df$medium, 2) distances <- NULL for (i in seq_len(ncol(combines))) { distances[i] <- dist(sub_df[combines[,i], c(1, 2)]) } return(mean(distances)) } ``` ## UMAP distance saturation analysis This shows how distance saturations could be calculated. Not evaluated currently. ```{r df, eval=FALSE} distance_saturation_data <- data.frame(concentration = integer(), community = integer(), average_distance = numeric()) #umap_CRM_coor <- cbind(umap_CRM_coor, concentration, medium, community) umap_CRM_coor <- data.frame(reducedDim(tse), colData(tse)) # cbind(umap_CRM_coor, concentration, medium, community) for (res_conc_type in unique(concentration)){ for (com_type in unique(community)){ ave_dist <- average_distance(umap_CRM_coor, res_conc_type, com_type) distance_saturation_data[nrow(distance_saturation_data)+1,] <- c(res_conc_type, com_type, ave_dist) } } # View(distance_saturation_data) distance_saturation_data$average_distance <- as.numeric(distance_saturation_data$average_distance) distance_saturation_data$concentration <- as.factor(distance_saturation_data$concentration) distance_saturation_data$community <- as.factor(distance_saturation_data$community) # distance_saturation_data_plot p <- ggplot(distance_saturation_data, aes(concentration, average_distance, color = community, group = community)) + geom_line() + geom_point() + scale_shape_manual(values = c(0, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18)) + labs(x = "Resource concentration", y = "Average distance between communities in UMAP") + theme_bw() print(p) ```
