title: 'AntClassify: Functional Guilds, Invasion Status, Endemism, and Rarity of Ants'
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.AntClassify
abstract: 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 <https://doi.org/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_Worlds_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  to flag exotic species of Brazil (Vieira, 2025, unpublished master's thesis), identify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 <https://doi.org/10.37885/250920259>), and classify
  species rarity and rarity forms of the Atlantic Forest (Silva et al., 2024 <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2024.110640>).
  The package reduces manual effort and improves reproducibility, supporting research
  and biodiversity management of Neotropical ant communities.
