tidyttmoment: Functional Trait Moment Calculation
Calculates the community four 'moments' (mean, variance, skewness,
and kurtosis) of a given trait based on the moments described in Wieczynski
et al. (2019) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1813723116>. These functional metrics are
extremely useful in characterizing the distribution of traits in a plant
community. It also provides tidyverse-friendly wrappers to seamlessly calculate
advanced functional diversity indices (e.g., FDis, Rao's Q) using 'fundiversity'
(Grenie et al. 2023 <doi:10.1111/ecog.06585>) and functional rarity indices
using 'funrar' (Grenie et al. 2017 <doi:10.1111/ddi.12629>). Evaluating these
community-weighted moments and diversity metrics allows researchers to evaluate
shifts in optimal phenotypes and understand ecological filtering with exactness.
