Salamanders: Repeated counts of salamanders in streams

Description

A data set containing counts of salamanders with site covariates and sampling covariates. Each of 23 sites was sampled 4 times. When using this data set, please cite Price et al. (2016) as well as the Dryad data package (Price et al. 2015).

Usage

data(Salamanders)

Format

A data frame with 644 observations on the following 10 variables:

site

name of a location where repeated samples were taken

mined

factor indicating whether the site was affected by mountain top removal coal mining

cover

amount of cover objects in the stream (scaled)

sample

repeated sample

DOP

Days since precipitation (scaled)

Wtemp

water temperature (scaled)

DOY

day of year (scaled)

spp

abbreviated species name, possibly also life stage

count

number of salamanders observed
