Resniche R package
The niche concept underlies most ecological questions, from population growth and geographic expansion to community dynamics and ecosystem functioning. There is not one niche concept, but many, each of which emphasizes a different aspect of a species’ ecological characteristics. The species resource niche refers to the set of resources used by the species, such as food types. Resniche provides functions to estimate resource niche metrics performed on species preference data for a set of qualitative resources(De Cáceres et al. 2011).
