Implements stochastic simulations of community assembly (ecological
diversification) using customizable ecospace frameworks (functional trait
spaces). Provides a wrapper to calculate common ecological disparity and
functional ecology statistical dynamics as a function of species richness.
Functions are written so they will work in a parallel-computing environment.
