Collects several different methods for analyzing and working with connectivity matrices in R. Though primarily oriented towards marine larval dispersal, many of the methods are general and useful for terrestrial systems as well.
The latest development version of the package can be installed directly from github using the devtools R package. First that package needs to be installed:
install.packages("devtools")Once this is done, one can install the development version with:
require("devtools")
install_github("ConnMatTools","dmkaplan2000","master")Replace “master” with another branch, tag or commit to obtain a different version of the package.
Methods from the following publications are implemented in the package:
