Microtus arvalis shape dataset

Description

A geometric morphometric derived dataset from the data of Cucchi et al. 2014. The dataset contains a data.frame for all 553 specimens, which includes relevant information for each specimen. This dataset also contains a Procrustes distance table calculated pairwise between all specimens. For convenience and as the trait boundary correlation calculations in the BoundaryFinder function is time consuming, two arrays are also provided containing the trait boundary correlation scores for the total dataset and also the Orkney subset. The original landmark data can be found in the supporting information of Cucchi et al. 2014.

Usage

Marvalis

Format

A list of 4 objects:

Info: Specimen information for M. arvalis dataset in the form of a data.frame with 4 columns (Population, Geographic Division, Lat, Long) and 553 rows. Rownames are specimen IDs.
Proc.Dist: Square distance matrix with pairwise Procrustes Distances between all 553 M. arvalis specimens.
Orkney.Boundary: A list including a dataframe with provenancing area (in m2) and an array of trait boundary finding correlation values using Spearman's method for all 131 Orkney specimens for inputting into the PlotBoundaries function. This is provided as an example because the BoundaryFinder function can take a long time to compute.
Total.Boundary: A list including a dataframe with provenancing area (in m2) and an array of trait boundary finding correlation values using Spearman's method for all 553 vole specimens for inputting into the PlotBoundaries function. This is provided as an example because the BoundaryFinder function can take a long time to compute.
