divent 0.5-4.9000

Bug correction

• species distributions made of a single individuals were not recognized correctly as abundance vectors, preventing the estimation of their diversity at a level.

divent 0.5-4

CRAN release: 2026-05-06

Bug correction

• metacommunity() ignored argument name.
• div_richness(..., as_numeric = TRUE) returned a value but did not print it.

Features

• coverage.abundances() now accepts argument as_numeric.

divent 0.5-3

CRAN release: 2025-08-27

Bug correction

• species_distribution() raised an error when input was a vector of factors.

divent 0.5-2

CRAN release: 2025-02-09

Features

• Generalized Simpson’s entropy: ent_gen_simpson() and div_gen_simpson()
• Faith’s PD: div_pd()
• Allen at al’s phylogenetic entropy: ent_allen()
• Spatially explicit Simpson’s entropy: ent_sp_simpson() and ent_sp_simpsonEnvelope()
• Spatially explicit random communities: rspcommunity()
• species_distribution methods for wmppp and character objects.
• values of abundances are no longer limited to .Machine$integer.max.

External changes

• Replaced Geom*$default_aes by their values for compatibility with ggplot2 3.6.0 (PR #2 by @teunbrand)

divent 0.4-4
