Hummingbird-flower networks
Description
An example dataset for tapnet analysis
Usage
data(Tinoco)
Format
An object of class matrix (inherits from array) with 14 rows and 1 columns.
Details
These data are from the supplement of Tinoco et al. (2017) and contain three observed networks (forest at Mazan, shrubland at Llaviuco, cattle farm at Nero, all in Ecuador), along with traits of flowers and birds (corolla and beak length, respectively) as well as phylogenies and external abundances for all species. These data are in several ways special, but most of all because of the very high sampling effort that went into the networks.
For sake of clarity, we provide the data as separate objects. So when "Tinoco" is called, it will load seven objects: networks, humm_traits, humm_tree, humm_abun, plant_traits, plant_tree and plant_abun. To combine them into a useable tapnet object, use make_tapnet. Phylogenetic trees are of class "phylo" (as used/produced by phytools). Abundance data were provided independently of the other data directly by Boris (the other data are on dryad doi: 10.5061/dryad.j860v). For the external abundances of hummingbirds, 12 point counts were performed in the same habitats where hummingbird - plant interactions were observed. "Abundance were obtained by averaging the abundance of each species per point count across the study period." "Plant abundances are averages across the study period." Many thanks to Boris for making his data freely available!
