sciobius2x2: Sciobius Grid Occupancy Data

In SyNet: Inference and Analysis of Sympatry Networks

Description

Presence/absence data of 47 South African species of weevils over a squared grid of 2 x 2 degrees.

Usage

data(sciobius2x2)

Format

A data frame with 49 observations on 25 columns. Columns are the grid cells in the study area (South Africa). The first pair of rows correspond to the coordinates of cells in the grid system (i.e. numeric indices of the cells in the rectangular layout of the grid).

The rest of rows are the species. Presence is indicated with 1 and absence with 0.

Details

Morrone (1994) provides the original matrix for this classical example, but ulterior corrections are introduced by Mast and Nyffeler (2003). The corrected version of the data are here represented. Species names are coded through two letters following the nomclature of Mast and Nyffeler (2003).
