Description: Analysis of temporal changes (i.e. dynamics) of ecological
        entities, defined as trajectories on a chosen multivariate
        space, by providing a set of trajectory metrics and visual
        representations [De Caceres et al. (2019)
        <doi:10.1002/ecm.1350>; and Sturbois et al. (2021)
        <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2020.109400>; Djeghri et al. (2026a)
        <doi:10.1002/ecm.70058>; Djeghri et al. (2026b)
        <doi:10.24072/pcjournal.736>]. Includes functions to estimate
        metrics for individual trajectories (length, directionality,
        angles, ...) as well as metrics to relate pairs of trajectories
        (dissimilarity and convergence). Functions are also provided to
        estimate the ecological quality of ecosystem with respect to
        reference conditions [Sturbois et al. (2023)
        <doi:10.1002/ecs2.4726>].
