Data and Analysis Scripts for Diversity-Stability Relationship in Great Barrier Reef Fish Communities

#### README Summary

#### Data StructureThe `dsrltmp2024_meta.RData` file includes essential data for analyzing the diversity-stability relationship in fish communities across 39 Great Barrier Reef sites. Major R objects include:

1. **`ecol.table.new`**: Data frame with variables like species richness, evenness, environmental factors, and stability metrics.2. **`poilog.mle.out`**: List with parameter estimates from bivariate Poisson-lognormal fits.3. **`gbrfishes`**: Species-by-time community matrices for each reef.4. **`ltmp_reefnames`**: Reef IDs.5. **`ltmp_reportyears`**: Reported years.6. **`ltmp_transectlarge_sprowindex`**: Species index for large transects.

#### R Code TemplatesThe `MASTER_LTMPDSR.R` script guides using these R objects and other scripts for statistical analyses, including pSEMs and community stability decomposition, as well as handle subsampling, fitting Poisson-lognormal models, and estimating community dynamic parameters.
