About

Maintained by Débora C. O. GonçalvesFirst published 2026-04-093 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functions for the analysis of ant communities, aiming to standardize workflows in myrmecology. The package automates the assignment of species to functional guilds based on trophic strategies, feeding habits, and foraging behavior, using established classification frameworks (Silva et al., 2015 doi:10.7476/9788574554419; Silvestre et al., 2003 <isbn:9588151236>; Delabie et al., 2000 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/44961742_Sampling_Ground-Dwelling_Ants_Case_Studies_from_the_World%27s_Rain_Forests), and also includes a novel classification system implemented within the package, developed from ant species occurring in urban environments. It also includes routines to flag exotic species of Brazil (Vieira, 2025, unpublished master's thesis), identify endemic species (Silva et al., 2025 doi:10.37885/250920259), and classify species rarity and rarity forms of the Atlantic Forest (Silva et al., 2024 doi:10.1016/j.biocon.2024.110640). The package reduces manual effort and improves reproducibility, supporting research and biodiversity management of Neotropical ant communities.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("AntClassify", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-antclassify

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-AntClassify

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-AntClassify

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
