Data set finch
Description
To demonstrate the application of the functions for real world data, we used existing data sets on niches and trait-spaces and quantified their sizes and overlaps. The data set finch is a data set on morphological measurements of Darwin finches. The data set comprises quantitative measurements of nine traits characterizing five species of finches, each trait was measured at least in 10 individuals per species.
Usage
data("finch")
Format
A data frame with 146 observations on the following 10 variables.
Speciesa character vector of the Species Geospiza heliobates, Geospiza prosthemelas prosthemelas, Geospiza fuliginosa parvula, Geospiza fortis fortis and Geospiza fortis platyrhyncha
BodyLa numeric vector
WingLa numeric vector
TailLa numeric vector
BeakWa numeric vector
BeakHa numeric vector
LBeakLa numeric vector
UBeakLa numeric vector
N.UBkLa numeric vector
TarsusLa numeric vector
