Quantifying species association with evoregions

Usage

calc_spp_association_evoreg(comm, group.comm, spp.association = 0.7)

Arguments

comm: An assemblage/community matrix with communities in rows and species in columns
group.comm: A vector containing the classification of each community in groups
spp.association: A scalar indicating the level of association that will be evaluated to assign species to groups. Default is 0.7

Value

A matrix with species in the rows and one columns indicating the name of the group in which the species is associated given the level of species association used in the argument spp.association. If the species fail to reach the threshold it will be assigned the "fuzzy" status

                       spp.association = 0.7) # calculate species association
