FD (version 1.0-12.6)

Measuring Functional Diversity (FD) from Multiple Traits, and Other Tools for Functional Ecology

Description

Computes different multidimensional FD indices. Implements a distance-based framework to measure FD that allows any number and type of functional traits, and can also consider species relative abundances. Also contains other useful tools for functional ecology.
