<p>name of benthos file (<code>character</code>)</p>

filename

<p>This function reads and checks benthos files. The format is a superset
 of the BEQI2-format as specified in Van Loon (2013). In addition to the
 BEQI2-format, the benthos-format also includes columns latitude (LAT), 
 longitude (LONG), and sieve mesh size (MESH).</p>

Analysis tool for evaluating benthic multimetric indices (BENMMIs).
It generates reproducible reports on the analysis of benthic data, e.g.,
validation and correction of species names, sample pooling, automatic
conversion of genus to species names, outlier detection, benthic
indicator calculation, optimization of single and
multimetric indicators against a pressure gradient, and spatial aggregation
of benthic indicators. One of its use cases was the development of a common
benthic indicator for <https://www.ospar.org> (publication accepted by
Ecological Indicators). See Van Loon et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.09.029> for details.
