trapTransect {spuRs}

Function to construct an object representing a transect of seedtraps.

Description

This function constructs a trapTransect object given a vector of trap distances from the parent plant, a vector of trap seed counts corresponding to the trap distances, and a single trap area.

Usage

 trapTransect(distances, seed.counts, trap.area = 0.0001) 

Arguments

distances

A vector of trap distances from the parent plant.

seed.counts

A vector of seed counts in each trap.

trap.area

The surface area of each trap.

Details

This function is a constructor.

Value

A trapTransect object, which is a list comprising three objects:

distances

A vector of trap distances from the parent plant.

seed.counts

A vector of seed counts in each trap.

trap.area

The surface area of each trap.
