</div><h2>Description</h2><div>
<p>The R-scripts are designed to assist the reader to use the methods of the article. The example shows how to use them to calculate the α, β, γ-diversity of a meta-community either through Chao's diversity index or Leinster & Cobbold. We also provide the functions to calculate inter-community pairwise distance matrices. </p>
