use-niche

Primitive ecological niche vocabulary.

use-niche models non-empty niche names, descriptive niche kinds, resource-use labels, and non-negative niche breadth values. It does not infer niche overlap, model competition, implement species-distribution modeling, or calculate niche breadth from data.

Example

use use_niche::{NicheBreadth, NicheKind, NicheName, ResourceUse};

let name = NicheName::new("reef grazer").unwrap();
let resource = ResourceUse::new("filamentous algae").unwrap();
let breadth = NicheBreadth::new(2.5).unwrap();

assert_eq!(name.to_string(), "reef grazer");
assert_eq!(NicheKind::Trophic.to_string(), "trophic");
assert_eq!(resource.to_string(), "filamentous algae");
assert_eq!(breadth.get(), 2.5);

Scope

• niche names and labels
• descriptive niche kinds
• resource-use labels
• non-negative niche breadth values

Non-goals

• niche overlap inference
• competition modeling
• species-distribution modeling
• niche breadth calculation from data
