rdiversity is an R package based around a framework for measuring and
partitioning biodiversity using similarity-sensitive diversity measures. It
provides functionality for measuring alpha, beta and gamma diversity of
metacommunities (e.g. ecosystems) and their constituent subcommunities,
where similarity may be defined as taxonomic, phenotypic, genetic, phylogenetic,
functional, and so on. It uses the diversity measures described in the arXiv
paper, `How to partition diversity`.
