Ecological datasets for teaching statistics

Dear Manuel,
     Have a look at the Dryad data repository, datadryad.org.  You can search around for many ecological data sets.  I have used this a lot for similar classes.  You can also read the associated paper for the data sets and give students as much background as you wish.
Sincerely,
Jeff

Dear list members,

I teach statistics to students in ecology and environmental sciences fields
and I would like to know if you could point me in the right direction of
sources of ecological/environmental datasets within and outside packages,
especially for general/generalized linear models and multivariate
statistics.
