The Bats dataset

Description

This dataset has been collected during field studies with the goal of studying the impact of disturbance on the health of forest-dwelling paleotropical bats. This dataset has been used to produce the results concerning the body mass of bats in the paper by Seltmann et al. (see source for details).

Usage

Bats

Format

A data frame with 10 variables:

log_weight

The log body weight in grams

Spp.y

An identifier referring to the species

Site.y

A factor indicating the type of habitats in which individuals have been captured

FA.y

The forearm length in mm

log_FAz

The log forearm length turned into z-score by centering and scalling the measurement within species

Fed

A binary factor indicating if the individuals have recently been feeding (Y = Yes, N = No)

REP

A factor indicating the reproductions status (NR = non-reproductive, L = lactating or M = male)

Year

A factor indicating the year of sampling

Season

A factor indicating the season of sampling

Site.x

A factor indicating the type of forest patch in which individuals have been captured
