QsRutils: R Functions Useful for Community Ecology

A collection of utility functions for community ecology analyses, with emphasis on workflows using the 'phyloseq' and 'vegan' packages. Includes functions for normalizing OTU tables, computing alpha diversity via rarefaction (using a fast C++ implementation), differential abundance comparisons with compact letter displays, primer checking for amplicon sequencing, plotting QIIME 2/DADA2 generated transition stats and miscellaneous helpers for ordination plots and taxonomic name formatting.
