Investigating Trade-offs among Mammal Traits

This is an example of how Shiny can be used to quickly engage students in data exploration, visualization, and analysis. This tool allows you to explore the dataset associated with,  "PanTHERIA: a species‐level database of life history, ecology, and geography of extant and recently extinct mammals".

This app draws on a large species-level dataset with metabolic, life history, and ecological traits of most living and recently extinct mammal species. Users can select and plot traits, fit linear models to the data, and query displayed datapoints.
