The BioWorldR package provides a curated collection of
biodiversity and species-related datasets, covering a wide range of taxa
including birds, plants, reptiles, turtles, mammals, bees, and
marine organisms. By gathering and standardizing these datasets
from public repositories and ecological R packages, it enables
researchers, educators, and students to easily access well-documented
examples for use in biodiversity, ecology, biogeography, and
comparative biology.
You can install the BioWorldR package from CRAN with the
following R function:
install.packages("BioWorldR")After installation, load the package and start exploring and using its functions and datasets.
library(BioWorldR)Each dataset in BioWorldR is labeled with a
suffix to indicate its structure and type:
_df: A data frame
_list: A list
_tbl_df: A tibble
These datasets encompass a wide variety of formats and content,
including species occurrence records, trait measurements,
ecological interactions, population dynamics, and conservation-related
information. By centralizing well-documented examples,
BioWorldR simplifies teaching, prototyping,
reproducible workflows, and exploratory analyses in the
biological sciences.
Reptiles_df: This dataset contains the valid names and url addresses for all reptile species cataloged in The Reptile Database
Gorillas_df: Chest-beating rates in Gorillas.
Brain_animals: Brain weight versus body weight of 28 animals
