How to Use IsoMemo for Researchers

library(IsoMemo)
getDatabaseList() # returns a character format of list of database names linked to the API call
#> [1] "14CSea"   "CIMA"     "IntChron" "LiVES"
df = getData(db = "IntChron", category = "Location", field = "latitude", mapping = "IsoMemo")
# see latitude and longitude of each site
summary(df)
#>     latitude     
#>  Min.   :-75.00  
#>  1st Qu.: 25.74  
#>  Median : 33.60  
#>  Mean   : 32.97  
#>  3rd Qu.: 51.18  
#>  Max.   : 78.57  
#>  NA's   :45546

The function below retrieves ALL data and fields from all existing databases.

# ALL_DATA = getData()
# print(nrow(ALL_DATA)) # check how many rows
# levels(ALL_DATA$source) # check all the database sources are there

Let’s explore another database: LiVES

getDatabaseList() # tells what database are currently published
#> [1] "14CSea"   "CIMA"     "IntChron" "LiVES"

df1 = getData('LiVES')
summary(df1)
#>    source          id            description             d13C

How is the distribution of the variable “d15N” isotope?

hist(df1$d15N)

Let’s see the linear relationship between variables d13C and d15N:

df1 <- na.omit(df1)
lm(d13C~d15N,data=df1)
#> 
#> Call:
#> lm(formula = d13C ~ d15N, data = df1)
#> 
#> Coefficients:
#> (Intercept)         d15N  
#>    -21.8468       0.2195
