Black theme for ggplot2

This is an additional theme for ggplot2 that generates an inverse black and white color scheme.

Example

ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) + geom_point()
# Add theme_black()
ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) + geom_point(color = "white") + theme_black()

Calculation of chlorophyll concentration based on spectrophotometric equations

The function chlA uses the trichromatic equations to convert absorbance values (wavelengths, in nm) to estimates of chlorophyll concentration using the equations from:

Jeffrey, S. W., and G. F. Humphrey. 1975. New spectrophotometric equations for determining chlorophylls a, b, c1 and c2 in higher plants, algae and natural phytoplankton. Biochem Physiol Pflanz BPP:191–194.

The function takes a data.frame with the following values in the column names (corresponding to wavelengths in the equations in Jeffrey & Humphrey): "480", "510", "630", "647", "664", and "750." Additional arguments include extraction container volume (vol) and, optionally, area of extration (area, representing surface area for epiphytic algae).

The function returns the same data.frame with columns appending for chlorophyll-a, -b, and -c, and phaeopigment concentrations.

Estimating species richness using coverage-based rarefaction

This function uses the iNEXT package to approximate species richness for a given level of sample 'coverage' based on methods in:

Chao, Anne, and Lou Jost. "Coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation: standardizing samples by completeness rather than size." Ecology 93.12 (2012): 2533-2547.

The function requires a data.frame or matrix with species as rows and communities as columns.

The function returns a data.frame with the observed richness, observed coverage (Chat), observed sample size (N), estimated richness (based on sample coverage), and optionally, richness based on the Chao1 estimator, and/or finally rarefied richness (individual-based subsampling).

Computing ultrametric distance matrices from species' functional traits

fdist takes a functional trait matrix, and returns an ultrametric distance matrix using the method that best preserves the original (non-ultrametric) distances.
