dizzy R package

The dizzy package was developed in Jorge et. al ((2014)[/publication/2014-11-01-Jorgeintegratedframeworkimprove2014a], (2017)[/publication/2017-12-01-JorgePhylogenetictrophicspecialization2017]), and is (available on github)[https://github.com/leorjorge/dizzy]. It has been used in several publications, used mostly to measure specialization in plant-herbivore interactions:

High specialization and limited structural change in plant-herbivore networks along a successional chronosequence in tropical montane forest.
