New version of the package FWebs (v.0.1.1)

I just created a new, improved, version of the R package Fwebs, which is in GitHub. A few functions were improved, bugs were corrected and the documentation was improved (the manual is now available here).

These were the major changes:

• The function create.fw.list now allows downloading all types of interactions from the mangal database. A new argument – mangal_types – was created; if mangal_types=”all” all types of interactions are downloaded. The available interaction types are: “competition”, “predation”, “herbivory”, “amensalism”, “neutralism”, “commensalism”, “mutualism”, “parasitism”, “symbiosis”, “scavenger”, “detritivore”.
• In the function create.fw.list, in the “references” data frame a new field was now added, which refers to the type of ecological network in that element of the list.
• Bugs were corrected in the function rect2square.
