and additional resources related to Diversity-Interactions modelling.
Diversity-Interactions models were orginally developed by Kirwan et al (2009) and since then have evolved in several directions. The statistical papers that describe the family of Diversity-Interactions models and tools to fit them are presented here.

This paper describes the DImodels R package and illustrates several case studies for fitting DI models to data.
