|---|---|
| Description: | A simplified version of the Portal Project Database designed for teaching. It provides a real world example of life-history, population, and ecological data, with sufficient complexity to teach many aspects of data analysis and management, but with many complexities removed to allow students to focus on the core ideas and skills being taught. The full database (which should be used for research) is available at <https://github.com/weecology/PortalData>. |

Data on individual rodents captured at the Portal Project and the plots they were captured in. This data.frame is the same as 'complete', but only containing data from 1977 to 1989. This is so that instructors can have learners begin working with a clean, older dataset, and later introduce a messy version of the newer years of data, in whatever format fits their needs.
