GPS positions of the Mt Wilhelm ant bait transects

Real field coordinates for the bait transects behind tidydiversity::png_ants. The published data give a GPS position and elevation for every bait; this table averages them to one point per elevation band and transect (two transects per band, eight bands from 200 to 3700 m). Use it to map the study sites or to join coordinates onto tidydiversity::png_ants by site. geo_example_sites() returns the band centroids (mean of the two transects).

Usage

png_ants_sites

Format

A tibble with 16 rows and 7 columns:

site: Elevation band code, as in png_ants ("MW0200").
transect: Transect number within the band (1 or 2).
elevation_band: Nominal elevation band in metres.
elevation: Mean GPS elevation of the baits on the transect, in metres.
lon, lat: Mean WGS84 longitude and latitude of the baits.
baits: Number of bait positions averaged.
