Ecological datasets for teaching statistics
Thank you very much Rich. Yes, you are right, is a very broad spectrum. I teach mainly to wildlife ecology students. I was using several datasets from different sources for homeworks and final projects, but some of the students were "sharing" the results of the assignments so I decided to assign different datasets to each student for their homeworks. This means that I need several datasets for each assignment, and the data need to be similar in the structure, for example, logistic regression, the response variable needs to be binary, and so on.

Manuel, Ecology, and it's applied focus Environmental science, are very broad. I've been working with these data for several decades so I need to ask what types of data you want. I don't know what's available from Costa Rican agencies but I do know that in the US you can get geochemical, biological, hydrologidal, and other data from the US Geological Survay, Environmental Protection Agency (if they've not removed them), Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service. You can also look at StreamNet run by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Council, The Army Corps of Engineers for hydraulic, flow, and sediment transport data. That's a start. Rich
