Butterflies


One encounters butterflies in most localities in India. Species richness is the total number of different butterfly species encountered in a locality. This total count can be divided into counts of different families (5 families in the present case). It is expected that distribution among the 5 families should be similar across localities that are geographically closer or ecologically similar. Further, some families may have a nearly constant share in different localities. It may then be enough to count species of that family and guess counts in other families.


datasets

Collection of datasets as prepared by Profs. A.P. Gore, S.A. Paranjape, and M.B. Kulkarni of Department of Statistics, Poona University, India. With their permission, first letter of their names forms the name of this package, the package has been built by me and made available for the benefit of R users. This collection requires a rich class of models and can be a very useful building block for a beginner.
