#' Field data on lizards observed in their natural habitat
#'
#' Data on here lizard was observed and the level of sunlight.
#' The data are collected on *Sceloporus occidentalis* (western fence lizards)
#' by Stephen C. Adolph in 1983 (in desert and mountain sites) and
#' by Dee Asbury in 2002-3 (in valley site).

#' @name lizard_habitat
#' @docType data
#' @format A data frame with 332 observations on the following 2 variables.
#' \describe{
#'   \item{site}{Site of lizard observation: `desert`, `mountain`, or `valley`.}
#'   \item{sunlight}{Sunlight level at time of observation:
#'   `sun` (lizard was observed perching in full sunlight),
#'   `partial` (lizard was observed perching with part of its body in the sun, part in the shade),
#'   `shade`(lizard was observed perching in the shade).}
