Abstract: A collection of measures for measuring ecological diversity. Ecological diversity comes in two flavors: alpha diversity measures the diversity within a single site or sample, and beta diversity measures the diversity across two sites or samples. This package overlaps considerably with other R packages such as 'vegan', 'gUniFrac', 'betapart', and 'fossil'. We also include a wide range of functions that are implemented in software outside the R ecosystem, such as 'scipy', 'Mothur', and 'scikit-bio'. The implementations here are designed to be basic and clear to the reader.
