Two datasets are attached: - **lizardsPitfalldata:** Individual lizard records. Variables we'll do some wrangling on here include: - `date`: Date the lizard measurements were recorded - `tail`: Whether the tail is whole ("W") or broken ("B") - `total_length`: Lizard total length (millimeters) - `weight`: Lizard mass (grams) - `spp`: Lizard species (4-letter code) - **lizardCodebook:** Codebook for 4-letter lizard species code (`code`), scientific name with genus and species (`scientific_name`), and common name (`common_name`) Learn more about the research, and see [full metadata](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/metadataviewer?packageid=knb-lter-jrn.210007001.38) at the [data package repository](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?packageid=knb-lter-jrn.210007001.38) hosted at the Environmental Data Initiative. In the examples below, we will learn how to: create subsets based on row values and column names, find summary statistics by group, reorder and rename columns, split a single column into multiple, add new columns based on existing values, and reshape (fold and pivot) the data. 3e:T448,### Separate column contents: `spread` To spread column contents across multiple columns, R users might use `tidyr::separate()`. The `Arquero spread()` function works similarly, in this case using `op.split()` from Arquero to split the string at the first space to create separate columns for lizard genus and species from the combined `scientific_name` column: | Separate content example | `tidyr::separate()` | `Arquero spread()` | |------|-----|-----| |Starting from codebook,
split scientific name into
two columns, genus and species | `codebook %>%`
   `separate(scientific_name,`
                      `c("genus", "species"),`
                      `sep = " ")`| `codebook`
   `.spread(`
   `{name_split: d => op.split(d.scientific_name, " ")},`
   `{ as: ["genus", "species"] })`|3f:T51b,### `fold` multiple columns into key and value columns Arquero's `fold` is a JavaScript version of `tidyr::pivot_longer()`. Let's say we want to make a single column, `record`, indicating if a lizard measurement is for `total_length` or `weight`, with the corresponding values in a separate column called `record_values`. Arquero `fold` allows us to melt column names into one column, aligning the original values appropriately in a new column. Side-by-side in `tidyr` and `Arquero`, that would look like this: | reshape to-longer | `tidyr::pivot_longer()` | `Arquero fold()` | |------|-----|-----| |Reshape the `total_length` and `weight` columns
into a column `record` and add corresponding
value to a new column `record_values`| `lizards %>%`
   `pivot_longer(c(total_length, weight),`
                      `names_to = "record",`
                      `values_to = "record_values")`| `lizards`
   `.fold(['total_length', 'weight'],`
         `{as: ['record', 'record_values']})`|40:[{"id":"4b46430971360a58c29461fa6414ebdf80e181ae670df0c72cee1e1248e47fc59c4110813118e31c9f8f6335ec32edf230766ea303c6248274646325c44ad5cf","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/4b46430971360a58c29461fa6414ebdf80e181ae670df0c72cee1e1248e47fc59c4110813118e31c9f8f6335ec32edf230766ea303c6248274646325c44ad5cf","name":"Screen
