The data, published in Gorman et al. 2014 (journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…), contain observations for 3 penguin species on islands in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica: 🧵 2/6
With multiple options to compare sizes across groups (e.g. body mass, flipper length or culmen dimensions by penguin species and/or island): 🧵3/6
& even include a little potential Simpson’s paradox example with culmen dimensions (without & with species)… 🧵4/6
If you’re like me & asked “What is a penguin culmen?”, here’s an illustration representing how culmen length & depth were measured for this study (thanks Dr. Gorman for helping with this!)... 🧵5/6
Have fun w/🐧! Learn about the Long Term Ecological Research Networks's work & data: lternet.edu! All of @uslter's 40 yrs of curated data incl. penguins, kelp, coral reefs, forests, fish, urban birds & much more available at @edigotdata: portal.edirepository.org/nis/home.jsp 🧵 6/6
