Calibration datasets for bat species
Description
These datasets contain hydrogen delta values of fur keratin from sedentary
bat species captured between 2005 and 2009 from Popa-Lisseanu et al. (2012).
These data can be used as an example to fit a calibration model using the
function calibfit
. The difference between CalibDataBat2
and
CalibDataBat2Rev
is that in the latter the bat
fur isotope values were corrected to align with the current delta values for deuterium
for keratin reference materials (Soto et al. 2017, https://doi.org/10.1002/rcm.7893)
ensuring comparability between formerly and more recently normalized datasets of delta values for deuterium.
Format
Two dataframes with 178 observations and 6 variables:
site_ID | (factor) | Identification of the sampling site |
long | (numeric) | Longitude coordinate (decimal degrees) |
lat | (numeric) | Latitude coordinate (decimal degrees) |
elev | (numeric) | Elevation asl (m) |
sample_ID | (factor) | Identification of the sampled animal |
sample_value | (numeric) | Hydrogen delta value of the tissue |
Details
Users who wish to use their own dataset for calibration should create a
dataframe of similar structure than these ones (only the column
'species' can be dropped). The columns should possess the same names as the
ones described above. If the elevation is unknown at the sampling sites,
elevation information can be extracted from a high resolution elevation
raster using the function terra::extract
(see Examples).
Note that the original study used a different source of elevation data.
Source
data provided by Popa-Lisseanu AG et al.
