gallfly | R Documentation |
Data from a study that investigated the number of eggs and gall-cells from gall flies (Urophora jaceana) during two seasons in the flower heads of knapweed (Centaurea nemoralis).
gallfly
A data frame 1411 observations and three variables:
number of eggs or gall-cells
year of observations (1935 or 1936)
developmental stage observed (egg or gall)
These data were used by Finney and Varley (1955) as an example for modeling using a truncated Poisson distribution. For reasons that are not entirely clear, no flower heads with zero eggs or gall-cells were reported. The original source of the data is Varley (1947).
