Description: Provides methods for estimating species niche position and niche
    breadth under continuous environmental gradients. The package implements
    canonical correspondence analysis (CCA), partial CCA (pCCA), generalized
    additive models (GAM), and Levins' niche breadth metrics for species-level
    and community-level analyses. Methods are based on ter Braak (1986)
