"algaeClassify"

R-package on CRAN

The R-package "algaeClassify" version 1.2.0 is now accessible via CRAN.

The algaeClassify package is a product of the GEISHA. It contains R-code designed to facilitate the application of common morpho-functional and life-history classifications to phytoplankton species lists and/or trait datasets. This software is being provided to meet the need for timely best science. It will facilitate widespread application of functional diversity classifications to phytoplankton data and provide tools to combine and homogenize datasets that may have been collected at different times and that incorporate different combinations of species names, higher taxonomy and functional traits.

This version contains the algae_search function for querying algaebase, Dietmar Straile's species accumulation and sampling effect functions, and the trait-based MFG and CSR classification functions.

Don't hesitate to try this new version and send your comments to Vijay Patil <vpatil@usgs.gov>.
