Wrapper of the 'Petfinder API' <https://www.petfinder.com/developers/v2/docs/> that implements 
  methods for interacting with and extracting data from the 'Petfinder' database. The 'Petfinder 
  REST API' allows access to the 'Petfinder' database, one of the largest online databases of 
  adoptable animals and animal welfare organizations across North America.

Calculates the relative growth rate (RGR) of a series of individuals by building a life table and solving the Lotka-Birch equation. (See Birch, L. C. 1948. The intrinsic rate of natural increase of an insect population. - Journal of Animal Ecology 17: 15-26) <doi:10.2307/1605>.

Functions for the construction of Petri Nets. Petri Nets can be replayed by firing enabled transitions.
     Silent transitions will be hidden by the execution handler. Also includes functionalities for the visualization of Petri Nets and
     export of Petri Nets to PNML (Petri Net Markup Language) files.

Reproducible, programmatic retrieval of survey datasets from the
    Pew Research Center.

Load the Just Another Gibbs Sampling (JAGS) module 'pexm'. The module provides the tools to work with the Piecewise Exponential (PE) distribution in a Bayesian model with the corresponding Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm (Gibbs Sampling) implemented via JAGS. Details about the module implementation can be found in Mayrink et al. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v100.i08>.

Eco-phylogenetic and community phylogenetic analyses.
    Keeps community ecological and phylogenetic data matched up and
    comparable using 'comparative.comm' objects. Wrappers for common
    community phylogenetic indices ('pez.shape', 'pez.evenness',
    'pez.dispersion', and 'pez.dissimilarity' metrics). Implementation
    of Cavender-Bares (2004) correlation of phylogenetic and
    ecological matrices ('fingerprint.regression'). Phylogenetic
    Generalised Linear Mixed Models (PGLMMs; 'pglmm') following Ives &
    Helmus (2011) and Rafferty & Ives (2013). Simulation of null
    assemblages, traits, and phylogenies ('scape', 'sim.meta.comm').
