sars - Fit and Compare Species-Area Relationship Models Using Multimodel Inference

Implements the basic elements of the multi-model inference paradigm for up to twenty species-area relationship models (SAR), using simple R list-objects and functions, as in Triantis et al. 2012 <DOI:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2011.02652.x>. The package is scalable and users can easily create their own model and data objects. Additional SAR related functions are provided.

gambin - Fit the Gambin Model to Species Abundance Distributions

Fits unimodal and multimodal gambin distributions to species-abundance distributions from ecological data, as in in Matthews et al. (2014) <DOI:10.1111/ecog.00861>. 'gambin' is short for 'gamma-binomial'. The main function is fit_abundances(), which estimates the 'alpha' parameter(s) of the gambin distribution using maximum likelihood. Functions are also provided to generate the gambin distribution and for calculating likelihood statistics.

nos - Compute Node Overlap and Segregation in Ecological Networks

Calculate NOS (node overlap and segregation) and the associated metrics described in Strona and Veech (2015) <DOI:10.1111/2041-210X.12395> and Strona et al. (2017, In Press). The functions provided in the package enable assessment of structural patterns ranging from complete node segregation to perfect nestedness in a variety of network types. In addition, they provide a measure of network modularity.
