read_wrens()

Format

A GeoJSON file with with 84 entries and 12 variables. The variables are as follows:

  • ID. Entry order as in ref. 1

  • sci_name. Scientific name, character vector

  • com_mame. English name, character vector

  • subspecies. How many subspecies a species has.

  • clutch_size. Mean or modal clutch size

  • male_wing. Male wing length (mm)

  • female_wing. Female wing length (mm)

  • male_tarsus. Male tarsus length (mm)

  • female_tarsus. Female tarsus length (mm)

  • body_mass. Body mass (grams)

  • data_src. bibliographic source of each trait given in the order they appear (see references)

  • geometry. sfc simple feature geometry.

Note

The function read_wrens() reads the 'wrens.GeoJSON' data as a projected sf object.
