Chapter 12 More datasets
Here are several more datasets, again all about food, and due to the bias of the authors of the book, mostly analyses of diet composition of various organisms. As the book goes to press, and unless we have since added additional information below, we only give the link to the original publication and to the dataset, and we have not ourselves worked through these data. Its all up to you! But don’t hesitate to get in touch if you do work through them, and if you find something odd, difficult, or even impossible.
