Weecology … has new mammal dataset
A post on using R with the Weecology data set.
From the post:
So the Weecology folks have published a large dataset on mammal communities in a data paper in Ecology. I know nothing about mammal communities, but that doesn’t mean one can’t play with the data…
Knowing nothing about data sets hasn’t deterred any number of think tanks and government organizations. It would make useful merging more difficult. But, if you really don’t know anything about the data set, then one merging is just as good as another. Perhaps you should go to work in one of the 2012 campaigns. 😉
On the other hand, you could learn about the data set and merge it usefully into other data sets for a particular area. Or for use in data-based planning of civic projects.
