In liamkendall/pollimetry: Estimate Pollinator Body Size and Co-Varying Ecological Traits

Converts bee body length (mm) to total field nectar load (ul).

Description

Calculates total field nectar load (ul) using body length (mm) from Henry & Rodet (2008).

Usage

nectarload(BL)

Arguments

BL	vector of body length measurements (mm).

Value

A dataframe with bee total field nectar load (ul) is returned for each specimen.
