[R-sig-ME] How to activate the overdisp_fun function?

[Adriaan de Jong]

Dear list members,
For informed choices between poisson and negative binomial models, I've been advised to check preliminary poisson models with the overdisp_fun function in accordance with Ben Bolker's glmmFAQ github site (link below). Unfortunately, I only receive the "Error in overdisp_fun(mod30) : could not find function "overdisp_fun" message (for poisson glmer model "mod30"). I've installed packages MASS, lme4, nlme, mgcv and glmmTMB and run my script under R 4.1.2. Model "mod30" runs and plots flawless. Internet searches haven't helped me. What am I doing wrong and/or where sits this overdisp_fun function?
Thanks in advance for hints and comments,
Cheers,
Adjan
