roadkills: Imaginary roadkill data

In DeadCanMove: Assess How Spatial Roadkill Patterns Change with Temporal Sampling Scheme

Description

An imaginary dataset of roadkill data for 5 "taxonomic" groups.

Usage

data(roadkills)

Format

A data frame with 900 observations on the following variables:

individ

an integer vector attributing an identifier to each recorded individual

segment

a numeric vector identifying the road segment at which each individual was recorded

group

a character vector indicating the "taxonomic" group to which each individual belongs

day1

a numeric vector indicating whether the individual was found (1) or not (0) on that sampling day (the same for all remaining days in the data frame)

Details

Each row corresponds to an individual recorded at a particular road stretch (segment), with a 1 if it was present and a 0 if it was not present at that segment on each of the sampling days. Individuals were not manually removed from the road, so each individual has value 1 in all days in which its body was detected on the road.
