data_mosquito.RdThis dataset was derived from NEON data portal with data product ID 'DP1.10043.001'. Details about this data product can be found at https://data.neonscience.org/data-products/DP1.10043.001.
data_mosquitoA data frame (also a tibble) with the following columns:
location_id: Location id.
siteID: NEON site code.
unique_sample_id: Identity of unique samples, usually it has location and date information.
sampleID: Identifier for sample.
subsampleID: Unique identifier associated with each subsample per sampleID.
observation_datetime: Observation date and time.
taxon_id: Accepted species code, based on one or more sources.
taxon_name: Scientific name, associated with the taxonID. This is the name
of the lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined.
taxon_rank: The lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined for the individual or specimen.
variable_name: The variable name(s) represented by the value column.
value: Value of the variable(s) specified by variable_name.
unit: Unit of the values in the value column.
nativeStatusCode: The process by which the taxon became established in the location.
'A': Presumed absent, due to lack of data indicating a taxon's presence in a given location;
'N': Native; 'I': Introduced; 'UNK': Status unknown.
release: Version of data release by NEON.
remarks_sorting: Technician notes; free text comments accompanying the record.
samplingProtocolVersion: The NEON document number and version where detailed information regarding the sampling method used is available; format 'NEON.DOC.######vX'.
sex: M for male, F for female, U for unknown.
sortDate: Date sample was sorted.
subsampleWeight: Weight of subsample in gram.
totalWeight: Weight of entire sample in gram.
trapHours: Number of hours between trap setting and collecting events.
weightBelowDetection: Notes regarding the weight relative to scale detection limit.
latitude: The geographic latitude (in decimal degrees, WGS84) of the geographic center of the reference area.
longitude: The geographic longitude (in decimal degrees, WGS84) of the geographic center of the reference area.
elevation: Elevation (in meters) above sea level.
nlcdClass: National Land Cover Database Vegetation Type Name.
plotType: NEON plot type in which sampling occurred: tower, distributed or gradient.
Here, we:
Removed trapping records that had no collectDate, eventID, namedLocation, and/or sampleID
Removed sorting records that had no collectDate, sampleID, namedLocation, and/or subsampleID
Removed archive records that had no startCollectDate, archiveID, and/or namedLocation
Removed expert taxonomy records that had no collectDate, subsampleID, and/or namedLocation
Verified there were no duplicated trapping, sorting, or archive records
Verified there were no trapping sampleID values missing from the sorting table
Verified there were no sorting subsampleID values missing from the expert taxonomist table
Converted blanks to NA throughout the datasets
Convert 0 to NA for unidentified samples - where individualCount in the expert taxonomist table was 0 and there was no listed taxonID
Left-joined the trapping table to the sorting table and verified barcode consistency between tables
Left-joined the expert taxonomy table to the trapping/sorting table and verified barcode and lab name consistency between tables
Renamed columns and added estimated total individuals as: number individuals iD'ed * (total subsample weight/ subsample weight)
Left-joined archive table and verified barcode consistency between tables
Details of locations (e.g. latitude/longitude coordinates can be found in neon_location).
