"Functional and Phylogenetic Ecology in R" is designed to teach
readers to use R for phylogenetic and functional trait analyses.
Over the past decade, a dizzying array of tools and methods were
generated to incorporate phylogenetic and functional information
into traditional ecological analyses. Increasingly these tools are
implemented in R, thus greatly expanding their impact. Researchers
getting started in R can use this volume as a step-by-step entryway
into phylogenetic and functional analyses for ecology in R. More
advanced users will be able to use this volume as a quick reference
to understand particular analyses. The volume begins with an
introduction to the R environment and handling relevant data in R.
Chapters then cover phylogenetic and functional metrics of
biodiversity; null modeling and randomizations for phylogenetic and
functional trait analyses; integrating phylogenetic and functional
trait information; and interfacing the R environment with a popular
C-based program. This book presents a unique approach through its
focus on ecological analyses and not macroevolutionary analyses.
The author provides his own code, so that the reader is guided
through the computational steps to calculate the desired metrics.
This guided approach simplifies the work of determining which
package to use for any given analysis. Example datasets are shared
to help readers practice, and readers can then quickly turn to
their own datasets.
