This dataset, biological_control, is a data frame containing measurements
related to biological pest control experiments. In a study of the
effectiveness of biological control of the exotic weed tansy ragwort,
researchers manipulated the exposure to the ragwort flea beetle on 15
plots that had been planted with a high density of ragwort.
A data frame with 15 observations and 2 variables:
- Load
Numeric vector indicating the flea beetle load (beetles/gram of ragwort dry mass)
- Mass
Numeric vector indicating the average dry mass of ragwort remaining (grams/plant)
Source
Data taken from the Sleuth3 package version 1.0-6
