title: 'spacc: Fast Spatial Species Accumulation Curves'
version: 0.8.3
abstract: High-performance spatial species accumulation curves using nearest-neighbor
  algorithms. Implements 'kNN' and 'kNCN' sampling methods with a 'C++' backend for
  speed. Supports Hill numbers (q=0,1,2), beta diversity partitioning (turnover/nestedness),
  coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation, phylogenetic diversity (Faith's PD,
  mean pairwise distance, mean nearest taxon distance), functional diversity accumulation,
  diversity-area relationships (DAR), endemism-area curves, sampling-effort correction
  and fragmentation analysis, and species-area relationship (SAR) models based on
  extreme value theory (EVT). Multiple starting points (seeds) provide uncertainty
  quantification. Methods are described in 'Chao' et al. (2014) <https://doi.org/10.1890/13-0133.1>,
