Measuring functional diversity (FD) from multiple traits, and other tools for functional ecology CRAN Task View: Environmetrics (http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Environmetrics) FD is a package to compute different multidimensional FD indices. It implements a distance-based framework to measure FD that allows any number and type of functional traits, and can also consider species relative abundances. It also contains other useful tools for functional ecology.
