Description
This tutorial will teach you skills to create and manipulate datasets from iNaturalist. There are four main activities in this guide. The first activity is a general tutorial on how to download data from a project on iNaturalist. The second activity is a tutorial on loading datasets into R. The third activity gives examples of how to explore plant-pollinator interaction data using R. The fourth activity describes how to create a bipartite network with R to visualize plant-pollinator interactions. The example in this exercise uses data from the Calgary Pollinators Project on iNaturalist and looks at plant-pollinator interactions. However, you may adapt this guide for any project on iNaturalist.
