Overview

About

Maintained by Geut GalaiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: Shai Pilosof

Data and analysis of ecological multilayer networks, including standardization of data structures and functions to convert between them. Includes an interactive multilayer network visualizer (beta, paper forthcoming), and a collection of 78 empirical ecological multilayer network datasets. This work was supported by research grant ISF (Israel Science Foundation) 1281/20 to Shai Pilosof. Noa Frydman (2023) doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14225.

Changes in 1.2.0

changes

Includes latest MiRA code (v1.0.0)
Updated MiRA citation across plot_multilayer(), multilayer_to_json(), and multilayer_to_csv() to reference the arXiv preprint (Nehoray et al. 2026, arXiv:2605.09597).
README refresh: dropped the devtools-installation badge in favor of a CRAN status badge, added a MiRA preprint badge, and expanded the visualizer section to describe MiRA's seven modes.
Consolidate EMLN package website code to be in the same repo as the package.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("emln", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("Ecological-Complexity-Lab/emln")

Development version from Ecological-Complexity-Lab/emln. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-emln

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-emln

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-emln

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
