chirInfo
is a data frame tabulating several aspects of chironomid ecology into a single file.
The chirInfo
data frame contains the following 18 columns:
Column 1: taxon name
Columns 2-5: taxonomic information
Columns 6-11: ecological info taken from Brooks (2007)
Columns 12-15: ecological info taken from Coffman (1978)
Column 16: taxonomic codes used in Roberto Quinlan's PhD thesis and the 2001/2010 papers
Columns 17-18: optima/tolerances from the Quinlan 2010 VWHO model
