Description: Provides functions to compute a continuum of
        information-based measures for quantifying the temporal
        stability of populations, communities, and ecosystems, as well
        as their associated synchrony, based on species (or species
        assemblage) biomass, or other key variables. When biodiversity
        data are available, the package also enables the assessment of
        the corresponding diversity–stability and diversity–synchrony
        relationships. All measures are applicable in both temporal and
        spatial contexts. The theoretical and methodological background
        is detailed in Chao et al. (2025)
