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>].
