A simplified version of the Portal Project database designed for teaching

Primary LanguagePython

The Portal Project Teaching Database is a simplified version of the Portal Project Database designed for teaching. It provides a real world example of life-history, population, and ecological data, with sufficient complexity to teach many aspects of data analysis and management, but with many complexities removed to allow students to focus on the core ideas and skills being taught.

The database is currently available in csv, json, and sqlite.

Use of this dataset should cite: http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1314459

This database is not designed for research as it intentionally removes some of the real-world complexities. The original database is published at Ecological Archives and this version of the database should be used for research purposes.
