Description: Tools for biodiversity assessment through Hill-number
        diversity profiles treated as functions of the order q. The
        package computes the profiles of Hill (1973)
        <doi:10.2307/1934352>, their analytical first and second
        derivatives, curvature, radius of curvature, arc length,
        cumulative integral functions, profile areas, area-based
        rankings and relative changes over time, together with static
        and interactive three-dimensional biodiversity surfaces. The
        functional approach follows Di Battista, Fortuna and Maturo
        (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2016.10.032>, Maturo and Di
        Battista (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.08.016> and Maturo
        (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.03.013>.
