  data = stop("An object with nests must be provided !"),
  weight = NULL,
  LayingTime = NULL,
  UnitTime = NULL,
  Longitude = NULL,
  Latitude = NULL,
  Informations = NULL,
  Males = NULL,
  Females = NULL,
  hatchling.metric.mean = NULL,
  hatchling.metric.sd = NULL
)

Value

A list with all the nests formated to be used with searchR.
