Community Ecology Analyses

Autosimilarity curves, standardization of spatial extent, dissimilarity indexes that overweight rare species, phylogenetic and functional (pairwise and multisample) dissimilarity indexes and nestedness for phylogenetic, functional and other diversity metrics. The methods for phylogenetic and functional nestedness is described in Melo, Cianciaruso and Almeida-Neto (2014) . This should be a complement to available packages, particularly 'vegan'.
