Species Richness and Extrapolation

Functions for calculating species richness for rarefaction and extrapolation, primarily non-parametric species richness such as jackknife, Chao1, and ACE. Also available are functions for plotting species richness and extrapolation curves, and computing standard diversity and entropy indices.

version 1.4.3 (on CRAN)

• move to SWFSC/sprex as main GitHub repository

version 1.4.2 (on CRAN)

• removed plot.discovery.curve()
• redesigned discovery.curve() to return data frame defining curve and plotting curve if selected.
• added diversity() to compute diversity and entropy indices

version 1.4.1

• added pct.range argument to clench function to specify minimum and maximum percentages of sample sizes
• changed argument m in expected.num.species function to accept vectors and return a matrix
