seed_disperse: Seed-disperser web (1988)

Description

A bipartite network of bird and plant interactions. Data was recorded by counting number of visits of each bird species to each plant species. The original data format (interaction frequency matrix) has been converted to an edgelist of interaction counts.

Usage

seed_disperse

Arguments

Format

A data frame with 3 columns and 211 rows:

Bird

common name of bird speces

Plant

common name of plant species

Visits

number of times the bird species was observed to interact with the plant species

Details

Of note, pairs with zero interactions have been omitted. As a result, a small subset of birds and plants that were in the original matrix are not present in this dataset (i.e. birds that did not interact with any plants and vice versa). Additionally, only the common names of the bird and plant species are included. For the scientific names (genus and species), please see the original data source (link below).
