Note(s) : 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
