title: 'FD: Measuring Functional Diversity (FD) from Multiple Traits, and Other Tools
  for Functional Ecology'
version: 1.0-12.6
identifiers:
- type: doi
  value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.FD
abstract: Computes different multidimensional FD indices. Implements a distance-based
  framework to measure FD that allows any number and type of functional traits, and
  can also consider species relative abundances. Also contains other useful tools
  for functional ecology.
