In dominanceanalysis: Dominance Analysis

Description Usage Format Source

The dataset contains information about points distributed across a small oceanic island (Soares, 2017). In each of these points, a 10-minute count was carried out to record the species presence (assuming 1 if the species was present, or 0 if it was absent). The species' presence/absence is the binary response variable (i.e., dependent variable). Additionally, all sampled points were characterized by multiple environmental variables.

1	tropicbird

A data frame with 2398 rows and 8 variables:

ID: Point identification
rem: remoteness is an index that represents the difficulty of movement through the landscape, with the highest values corresponding to the most remote areas
land: land use is an index that represents the land-use intensification, with the highest values corresponding to the more humanized areas (e.g., cities, agricultural areas, horticultures, oil-palm monocultures)
alt: altitude is a continuous variable, with the highest values corresponding to the higher altitude areas
slo: slope is a continuous variable, with the highest values corresponding to the steepest areas
rain: rainfall is a continuous variable, with the highest values corresponding to the rainy wet areas
coast: distance to the coast is the minimum linear distance between each point and the coast line, with the highest values corresponding to the points further away from the coastline
pres: Species presence
