Carabid morphological traits

Description

Average body measures of 120 Carabid species occuring in the Netherlands.

Usage

data(carabids)

Format

A data.frame with 121 observations and 12 variables.

Details

Carabid morphological traits. Column names are described below.

Measures

• name_correct = species name,

• source_measurement = researcher who performed measurement,

• body_length = body length in mm,

• antenna_length = antenna length in mm,

• metafemur_length = length metafemur in mm,

• eyewith_corr = eye width in mm,

• note = note,

• resid_femur = residual femur length in mm (i.e. residual from linear model in which femur length is explained by body length),

• resid_eye = residual eye length in mm (i.e. residual from linear model in which eye length is explained by body length),

• resid_antenna = residual antenna length in mm (i.e. residual from linear model in which antenna length is explained by body length),

• scientificNameStd
