iNEXT.beta3D - Interpolation and Extrapolation with Beta Diversity for Three
Dimensions of Biodiversity
As a sequel to 'iNEXT', the 'iNEXT.beta3D' package
provides functions to compute standardized taxonomic,
phylogenetic, and functional diversity (3D) estimates with a
common sample size (for alpha and gamma diversity) or sample
coverage (for alpha, beta, gamma diversity as well as
dissimilarity or turnover indices). Hill numbers and their
generalizations are used to quantify 3D and to make
multiplicative decomposition (gamma = alpha x beta). The
package also features size- and coverage-based rarefaction and
extrapolation sampling curves to facilitate rigorous comparison
of beta diversity across datasets. See Chao et al. (2023)
<doi:10.1002/ecm.1588> for more details.
