Description: The 'BioTIME' database was first published in 2018 and
        inspired ideas, questions, project and research article. To
        make it even more accessible, an R package was created. The
        'BioTIMEr' package provides tools designed to interact with the
        'BioTIME' database. The functions provided include the
        'BioTIME' recommended methods for preparing (gridding and
        rarefaction) time series data, a selection of standard
        biodiversity metrics (including species richness, numerical
        abundance and exponential Shannon) alongside examples on how to
        display change over time. It also includes a sample subset of
        both the query and meta data, the full versions of which are
        freely available on the 'BioTIME' website
        <https://biotime.st-andrews.ac.uk/home.php>.
