Description Usage Format Details Source Examples

This data frame lists all the species name that appear in OrdwayBirds. In many cases, the species name was mis-spelled in the original. As a result, many birds are listed as separate species even though, in reality, they all belong to the same species. For each potentially mis-spelled species name, this table gives a standardized name.

1	data("OrdwaySpeciesNames")

A data frame to translate between the various mis-spellings of species in OrdwayBirds to a consistent set of spellings.

SpeciesName: The original spelling.
SpeciesNameCleaned: Corrected spelling (or NA if the original was not identifiable.)

These data can be used as part of cleaning the OrdwayBirds data.

See OrdwayBirds. The data in SpeciesNameCleaned was added by crowd-sourcing. A class of Data and Computing Fundamentals students, in Spring 2013, read through the original names and typed in the corresponding correct spelling.
