gobyData

Usage

gobyData

Format

A list with four matrices representing eDNA sampling data (qPCR.N and qPCR.K), seine sampling data (count), and site-level covariate data (site.cov).

qPCR.N

Total number of eDNA qPCR replicates at each site (row) and eDNA sample replicate (column). Data includes 39 total sites and a maximum of 22 eDNA sample replicates. NA indicates that fewer eDNA samples were collected than the maximum at a site.

qPCR.K

Total number of positive eDNA qPCR detections at each site (row) and eDNA sample replicate (column). Data includes 39 total sites and a maximum of 22 eDNA sample replicates. NA indicates that fewer eDNA samples were collected than the maximum at a site.

count

Count of goby individuals in seine samples at each site (row) and seine sample replicate (column). Data includes 39 total sites and a maximum of 22 seine replicates. NA indicates that fewer seine samples were collected than the maximum at a site.

site.cov

Data representing site-level covariates at each site (row). Data includes mean salinity at a site ('Salinity'), mean time to filter eDNA samples ('Filter_time'), density of other fish species ('Other_fishes'), size of habitat ('Hab_size'), and presence of vegetation ('Veg'). All non-integer covariate data is standardized.
