genus_to_species

This alorithm reallocates the counts of taxa, that are only indentified at
the genus level to taxa in the same sampling unit and of the same genus 
but that are identified on the species level. The redistribution of counts 
is proportional to the number of counts at the species level.

Preprocessing tools and biodiversity measures
(species abundance, species richness, population heterogeneity and
sensitivity) for analysing marine benthic data. See Van Loon et al.
(2015) <doi:10.1016/j.seares.2015.05.002> for an application of
these tools.
