[R-sig-eco] Ecological datasets for teaching statistics

[Michael Mahoney]

Allison Horst has packaged data on penguin species from the PAL-LTER
project at https://github.com/allisonhorst/palmerpenguins. This is a nice
dataset for basic instruction -- 344 observations and 7 variables, so it's
easily understandable but with enough complexity to at least introduce most
concepts.

Thanks,
