Simulating Community Assembly and Ecological Diversification Using Ecospace Frameworks R package ecospace version 1.4.2 CRAN Task View: Paleontology (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Paleontology) Implements stochastic simulations of community assembly (ecological diversification) using customizable ecospace frameworks (functional trait spaces). Provides a wrapper to calculate common ecological disparity and functional ecology statistical dynamics as a function of species richness. Functions are written so they will work in a parallel-computing environment.
