Ecometric Models of Trait–Environment Relationships at the Community Level.

commecometrics

The commecometrics package provides tools for conducting ecometric analyses using trait data, species distributions, and environmental variables. It supports workflows for both continuous (e.g., precipitation) and categorical (e.g., vegetation) environmental variables, and includes utilities for fossil data integration, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and sensitivity analyses.

Installation

You can install the development version of commecometrics from GitHub with:

# Install devtools if you don't have it
install.packages("devtools")

# Install commecometrics from GitHub
devtools::install_github("mariahm1995/commecometrics")

You can also get the official release version from CRAN

install.packages("commecometrics")

Two vignettes demonstrate the full workflow and capabilities of the package:

• Introduction to commecometrics
  Overview of trait–environment modeling, prediction, and visualization using modern data.

• Reconstructing Paleoenvironments from Fossil Traits
  Extends the framework to fossil communities for estimating past environmental conditions.
