Converting species counts into species list
Something like, rep(df$species, times=df$abundance) or more generically... rep(df[,1], times=df[,2]) should work. Cheerio, Dan Daniel Pritchard PhD Student Department of Botany University of Otago Dunedin, New Zealand daniel.pritchard at botany.otago.ac.nz

Hello, I have a list of species and abundance that looks like this: Aegiinte 3 Agonperu 3 Aiouimpr 2 Albiniop 2 Albisubd 1 .................. And I need to convert these two columns into a column in which each cell represents an individual of a articular species: Aegiinte Aegiinte Aegiinte Agonperu Agonperu Agonperu Aiouimpr Aiouimpr Albiniop Albiniop Albisubd ......... Can someone help me to develop a script to do the conversion? Thanks a lot! Ophelia
