Calculates similarity-sensitive metacommunity gamma diversity (the
metacommunity similarity-sensitive diversity). This measure may be
calculated for a series of orders, represented as a vector of qs.
meta_gamma(meta, qs)object of class metacommunity
vector of mode numeric containing q values
meta_gamma returns a standard output of class rdiv
