gryphon: Gryphon: Morphological Traits of the mythical Gryphon

In fontikar/circus: Helper functions to wrangle animal models from 'brms'

Description

This dataset was simulated for the paper: "An ecologist's guide to the animal model" by Wilson et. al 2010. Phenotypic traits were simulated over an arbitary pedigree structure using the program 'Pedantics' (Morrissey et al. 2007) to illustrate the uses of the 'animal model'. This dataset includes six variables measured from a cohort of gryphons (n = 1084). Variables include: The ID of each gryphon, the ID of the gryphon's mother, year of birth, sex, birth weight and tarsus length

Usage

gryphon

Format

3. BYEAR: Year of Birth

4. SEX: Sex of gryphon

5. BWT: Birth weight at fledging

6. TARSUS: Tarsus length at fledging
