Provides a built-in Nemaplex database for nematodes,
which can be used to search for various nematodes.
Also supports various nematode community and functional
analyses such as nematode diversity, maturity index, metabolic footprint,
and functional guild. The methods are based on

This R package has a built-in Nemaplex database for nematodes, which can be used to search for various nematodes. At the same time, this R package supports various nematode communities and functional analyses such as nematode diversity, maturity index, metabolic footprint, and functional guild.
You can install the development version of easynem from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("whkygl/easynem")
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(easynem)
## basic example code
Calculation of metabolic footprint of nematode communities:
nem <- read_nem2(tab = nemtab, tax = nemtax, meta = nemmeta)
nem_plot <- nem |>
calc_nemindex() |>
calc_mf(Treatments) |>
nem_plot(kei = 30, ksi = 20)
nem_plot

Calculation of energy structure of nematode communities:
nem_plot <- nem |>
calc_nemindex() |>
calc_ef(Treatments) |>
nem_plot()
nem_plot
