Prairie Pothole Region Brood Count Data 2008 - 2017

These files contain brood count data along with the relevant covariates used to model brood abundance in a hierarchical spatial abundance model for the Prairie Pothole Region of the U.S. Data were amalgamated from three previous studies with the permission of the authors:

Distribution of Duck Broods Relative to Habitat Characteristics in the Prairie Pothole Region https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.466

Impacts of Oil and Gas Development on Duck Brood Abundance https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.21742

Assessment of repeat-visit surveys as a viable method for estimating brood abundance at the 10.4-km2 scale https://doi.org/10.1002/wsb.848

The file traindata.csv was used to parameterize the model while the file testdata.csv was used to test model fit. Columns are defined as follows:

  • X & Y: Geographic location of surveyed basin (in Albers Equal Area Conic)
  • C1 & C2: Counts 1 and 2 of survey (AM and PM count)
  • scalePE & scalePE2: Quadratic, scaled percent of the basin that is obscured by emergent cover
  • LWA: scaled variable representing log of basin July wet area
  • basinWA: scaled variable representing basin July wet area
  • scaleJWA: scaled variable representing the total July wet area within 2560 acres of the surveyed basin (summarized by acre)
  • scaleMWC: scaled variable representing total count of wet basins in May within 2560 acres of surveyed basin
  • scalePC: scaled variable representing the total percent of the 2560 acres around the surveyed basin that is under perennial cover.
  • Y09:Y17: Year of the survey
  • logDate: log of date
  • SEAS & SEMI & TEMP: basin regime
  • Walkin: How the basin was surveyed (1= by truck, 0 = walkin).
