Data: "Using butterfly survey data to model habitat associations in urban developments", JEJ Cooper et al., (2023)

This data package has been used to examine the responses of UK butterfly species  

to different features of the urban environment. 'JC_WCBSmodel.Rdata' presents the

butterfly abundance data, and supporting information about  

species and sites. This data can be fed through the script '04_model_builder.R', to  

produce the models reported in the research article. '00_functions.R' is a script  

containing functions which support the modelling process, which is loaded as part of  

the 04_model_builder script.  

Summaries of the resulting models are an output of that script -  

'Butterfly_GAM_Outputs.xlsx'. These are represented graphically in the manuscript,  

using scripts '06_01_Map'.R:'06_03_Cross_Validation'. '06_04_Model_Metric.R'  

is a further summary of the .xlsx file, found in the Supplementary Materials.  

'06_05_graphic_4_twitter.R' produces a condensed version of the figure resulting  

from the script '06_02_Metric_Summary.R'

Dataset descriptions are found in the attached readme.txt

We would also greatly appreciate if you could fill out this very short form to tell us how you intend to use these data. Thanks in advance!
