Description

Get colony size distributions

Usage

1
get_col_sz(dat_in, raw_out = FALSE)

Arguments

dat_in

coral demographic data with esimated csa per species (from est_3d)

raw_out

logical if raw data are returned as an abbreviated version of dat_in

Details

Frequency distribution of colony sizes is summarized as a single value that takes into account the number of colonies and the relative sizes. This is analogous to the standard Shannon-Wiener Diversity index for species abundance data.

Value

data frame of station, size distribution estimates, and number of colonies as recruits, long format

Examples

2
crl_dem$csa <- with(crl_dem, est_3d(species_name, Height, MaxDiam, PerpDiam))
get_col_sz(crl_dem)
