Analyzes species-environment relationships with constrained ordination (CCA, RDA, db-RDA), variance partitioning, indicator species (indicspecies IndVal.g group-equalized), PERMANOVA paired MANDATORILY with PERMDISP (Anderson & Walsh 2013; dispersion confounds centroid tests), Joint Species Distribution Models (HMSC, sjSDM, gjam) with explicit rejection of "residual covariance equals biotic interaction", phylogenetic community ecology (SES_MPD/MNTD), trait-environment via RLQ + fourth-corner with corrected modeltype=6 (Dray 2014), bipartite network metrics (NODF, modularity) with curveball null (Strona 2014), and Mantel-test replacements (dbRDA, GDM) for spatial data. Use when testing how environmental gradients structure communities, identifying habitat indicator taxa, partitioning variance among predictors, deciding whether PERMANOVA significance is location vs dispersion, picking among HMSC/sjSDM/gjam, or replacing Mantel tests for landscape data.

What this skill does
Bio Ecological Genomics Community Ecology is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the data-engineering sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/bio-ecological-genomics-community-ecology/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when testing how environmental gradients structure communities, identifying habitat indicator taxa, partitioning variance among predictors, deciding whether PERMANOVA significance is location vs dispersion, picking among HMSC/sjSDM/gjam, or replacing Mantel tests for landscape data.
Who uses this skill
The Bio Ecological Genomics Community Ecology Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 93,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/bio-ecological-genomics-community-ecology/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.

When should I use the Bio Ecological Genomics Community Ecology skill?
Use Bio Ecological Genomics Community Ecology when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the data engineering area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Bio Ecological Genomics Community Ecology" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Bio Ecological Genomics Community Ecology skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Bio Ecological Genomics Community Ecology is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
