abstract: Provides simple functions to compute and plot two types (sample-size- and
  coverage-based) rarefaction and extrapolation curves for species diversity (Hill
  numbers) based on individual-based abundance data or sampling-unit- based incidence
  data; see Chao and others (2014, Ecological Monographs) for pertinent theory and
  methodologies, and Hsieh, Ma and Chao (2016, Methods in Ecology and Evolution) for
  an introduction of the R package.
