Base R (version >= 4) and the RStudio IDE.

In the RStudio IDE, open the file messinian_biol_impact.Rproj. This opens the RProject of the same name, and installs the renv package (if not already installed). Then, run

renv::restore()

in the console to install all dependencies required for the analysis. Next, run

source("code/download_data.R")

do download the database from Zenodo. Then, run

source("code/analysis.R")

to run the analysis and produce the figures. This will generate all figures in the figs/ folder, and generate the variables sr_change_whole, sr_change_reg, sr_change_time, and eco_ind_median in the workspace. Instructions on how to generate the maps are in the file code/maps.R.
