abstract: Provides a computational toolkit for analyzing nematode communities in ecological
  studies. Includes methods to quantify nematode-based ecological indicators such
  as metabolic footprints, energy flow metrics, and community structure. These tools
  support assessments of soil health, ecosystem functioning, and trophic interactions,
  standardizing the use of nematodes as bioindicators.
