diathor

Calculate multiple biotic indices using diatoms from environmental samples. Diatom species are identified by their species names through a heuristic search, and ecological data is retrieved from multiple sources. The package includes the calculation of chloroplast diversity indices, size classes, ecological guilds, and various biotic indices. It outputs both a dataframe with all the results and plots of the obtained data in a specified output folder. Sample data is sourced from Nicolosi Gelis, Cochero, & Gómez (2020, doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.105951). The package utilizes the 'Diat.Barcode' database for morphological and ecological information by Rimet & Couchez (2012, doi:10.1051/kmae/2012018), along with the combined classification of guilds and size classes from B-Beres et al. (2017, doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.07.007). Currently supported diatom-based biotic indices include DES index (Descy, 1979); EPID index (Dell'Uomo, 1996); IDAP index (Prygiel & Coste, 1993); ID-CH index (Hürlimann & Niederhauser, 2007); IDP index (Gómez & Licursi, 2001); ILM index (Leclercq & Maquet, 1987); IPS index (Coste, 1982); LOBO index (Lobo, Callegaro, & Bender, 2002); SLA index (Sladecek, 1986); TDI index (Kelly & Whitton, 1995); SPEAR(herbicide) index (Wood et al., 2019); PBIDW index (Castro-Roa & Pinilla-Agudelo, 2014); DISP index (Stenger-Kovácsa et al., 2018).
