meaudret {ade4} | R Documentation

## Ecological Data : sites-variables, sites-species, where and when

### Description

This data set contains information about sites, environmental variables and Ephemeroptera Species.

### Usage

    data(meaudret)

### Format

`meaudret` is a list of 4 components.

env

  is a data frame with 20 sites and 9 variables.

fau

  is a data frame with 20 sites and 13 Ephemeroptera Species.

design

  is a data frame with 20 sites and 2 factors.

  - `season` is a factor with 4 levels = seasons.

  - `site` is a factor with 5 levels = sites along the Meaudret river.

spe.names

  is a character vector containing the names of the 13 species.

### Details

Data set equivalents to `meau`: site (6) on the Bourne (a Meaudret affluent) and oxygen concentration were removed.
