Description: Provides functions for the analysis of ant communities,
        aiming to standardize workflows in myrmecology. The package
        automates the assignment of species to functional guilds based
        on trophic strategies, feeding habits, and foraging behavior,
        using established classification frameworks (Silva et al., 2015
        <doi:10.7476/9788574554419>; Silvestre et al., 2003
        <isbn:9588151236>; Delabie et al., 2000
        <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/44961742_Sampling_Ground-Dwelling_Ants_Case_Studies_from_the_World%27s_Rain_Forests>),
        and also includes a novel classification system implemented
        within the package, developed from ant species occurring in
        urban environments. It also includes routines to flag exotic
        species of Brazil (Vieira, 2025, unpublished master's thesis),
        identify endemic species (Silva et al., 2025
        <doi:10.37885/250920259>), and classify species rarity and
        rarity forms of the Atlantic Forest (Silva et al., 2024
        <doi:10.1016/j.biocon.2024.110640>). The package reduces manual
        effort and improves reproducibility, supporting research and
        biodiversity management of Neotropical ant communities.
