Dear R-experts, I have a table with following collumns: State, SamplePlot, Species and BodySize. I sampled bird species at 34 SamplePlots and 5 States (regions) monthly during two years. On each bird record I measured bodysize and identified the species. So I have many records of each species (about 150 species) at each SamplePlot and each Region (State). Now I would like bootstrap these data, selecting 50 records for each State/SamplePlot combinations and count how many species (richness) were sampled at bootstrap. I need to do this 1.000 times. After that and need join the number of species [obtained at each bootstrap and for each State/SamplePlot combination] with a dataframe that have other attributes for SamplePlot (like Area, Perimeter etc). Bellow follow a sample of these two tables (dataframes). Could someone help me on this task.
