 It is worth noting that rows are selected when using `loc` with a single list of
 labels (or `iloc` with a single list of integers). However, unlike `loc` or `iloc`,
 indexing a data frame directly with labels will select columns (e.g.
-`surveys_df['species_id', 'plot_id', 'weight']`), while ranges of integers will

 using `iloc`, and will raise a `KeyError` if a single integer or list is used; the
 error will also occur if index labels are used without `loc` (or column labels used
