Measures and compares the diversity of biological communities (e.g. tables of operational taxonomic units (OTUs), amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) or metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)) based on Hill numbers, in a unified framework for neutral, phylogenetic and functional diversity measurement, diversity partitioning, (dis)similarity measurement, diversity profiles, evenness, redundancy and attribution of Hill power-sum weight to taxa and sets. The statistical framework encompasses richness, Shannon and Simpson diversity, Faith's phylogenetic diversity (PD), Rao's quadratic entropy and Sorensen- and UniFrac-type dissimilarities, all grounded in a single Hill-number framework. Methods are described in Jost (2007) <doi:10.1890/06-1736.1>, Chao et al. (2010) <doi:10.1098/rstb.2010.0272>, Chiu et al. (2014) <doi:10.1890/12-0960.1> and reviewed in Alberdi & Gilbert (2019) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13014>. Optional import adapters interoperate with the Bioconductor packages 'phyloseq', 'SummarizedExperiment' and 'TreeSummarizedExperiment', which are available from <https://bioconductor.org>.
