Compadre (plant matrices) and Comadre (animal matrices) are subsamples of the COMPADRE Plant Matrix Database and COMADRE Animal Matrix Database, respectively, that are used for testing and examples. Each object is of class 'CompadreDB' and therefore has the following two slots: data and version.

For full documentation see the COMPADRE User Guide.

## Format

Slot data - A tibble-style data frame with the following 48 columns:

• mat - A list of 'CompadreMat' objects, each with the following slots:

• matA - A matrix population model

• matU - The survival- and growth-related component of matA

• matF - The sexual reproduction component of matA

• matC - The clonal reproduction component of matA

• matrixClass - A data frame with the following columns:

• MatrixClassOrganized - Standardized stage class of the matrix population model

• MatrixClassAuthor - Stage description from the original publication

• Class - Class that the species belongs to

• Phylum - Phylum that the species belongs to

• Kingdom - Kingdom that the species belongs to

• OrganismType - Organism type (see COMPADRE User Guide for documentation)

• DicotMonoc - Whether the species is a dicot or monocot. Non-angiosperms are NA.

• AngioGymno - Whether the species is an angiosperm or gymnosperm. Non-plants are NA.

• NumberPopulations - The number of study populations as defined by the authors. Within site replication of permanent plots is not defined as separate populations

• MatrixCriteriaSize - Indicates whether the matrix contains stages based on size. If so, indicates what that measure of size is

• MatrixCriteriaOntogeny - Indicates whether the matrix contains stages based on ontogenic/developmental stages

• MatrixCriteriaAge - Indicates whether the matrix contains stages based on age

• MatrixPopulation - Population name or definition of where the matrix was recorded, usually given by the author. See COMPADRE User Guide.

• Country - 3-letter ISO country code for the country in which the study took place (multiple countries separated with ";")

• Continent - Continent on which study took place

• Ecoregion - Ecoregion in which study took place. See COMPADRE User Guide.

• StudiedSex - Whether study included only males ("M"), only females ("F"), or both sexes ("M/F")

• MatrixComposite - Indicates the type of matrix population model. Possible values are Individual, Mean, Pooled, and Seasonal. See COMPADRE User Guide.

• MatrixTreatment - Describes if a treatment was applied to the population or not. If yes, includes a brief description of the treatment. If not, Unmanipulated

• MatrixCaptivity - Whether species was studied in the wild (W), captivity (C), or captured from a wild population (CW)

• MatrixStartYear - First year of matrix

• MatrixStartSeason - First season of matrix as described by author (hemisphere-specific)

• MatrixStartMonth - First month of matrix

• MatrixEndYear - Final year of matrix

• MatrixEndSeason - Final season of matrix as described by author (hemisphere-specific)

• MatrixEndMonth - Final month of matrix

• MatrixSplit - Whether the A matrix has been split into components U, F, and C ("Divided") or not ("Indivisible"). If not, elements of matU, matF, and matC are filled with NA

• Observation - Additional observations recorded by database compilers

• MatrixDimension - Dimension of the A matrix

• SurvivalIssue - Denotes the maximum stage-specific survival value

Slot version - A list with the following elements:

• Version - The version number of the database
