r-zetadiv

Functions to compute compositional turnover using zeta-diversity, the number of species shared by multiple assemblages. The package includes functions to compute zeta-diversity for a specific number of assemblages and to compute zeta-diversity for a range of numbers of assemblages. It also includes functions to explain how zeta-diversity varies with distance and with differences in environmental variables between assemblages, using generalised linear models, linear models with negative constraints, generalised additive models,shape constrained additive models, and I-splines.
