Detection-nondetection data of 12 foliage gleaning bird species in 2015 in Bartlett Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, USA

Detection-nondetection data of 12 foliage gleaning bird species in 2015 in the Bartlett Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, USA. These data were collected as part of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). Data were collected at 80 sites where observers recorded the number of all bird species observed during a six minute, 125m radius point count survey once during the breeding season. The six minute survey was split into three two-minute intervals following a removal design where the observer recorded the interval during which a species was first observed (if any) with a 1, intervals prior to observation with a 0, and then mentally removed the species from subsequent intervals (marked with NA), which enables modeling of data in an occupancy modeling framework. The 12 species included in the data set are as follows: (1) AMRE: American Redstart; (2) BAWW: Black-and-white Warbler; (3) BHVI: Blue-headed Vireo; (4) BLBW: Blackburnian Warbler; (5) BLPW: Blackpoll Warbler; (6) BTBW: Black-throated Blue Warbler; (7) BTNW: BLack-throated Green Warbler; (8) CAWA: Canada Warbler; (9) MAWA: Magnolia Warbler; (10) NAWA: Nashville Warbler; (11) OVEN: Ovenbird; (12) REVI: Red-eyed Vireo.

Format

neon2015 is a list with four elements:

y: a three-dimensional array of detection-nondetection data with dimensions of species (12), sites (80) and replicates (3).

occ.covs: a numeric matrix with 80 rows and one column consisting of the elevation at each site.

det.covs: a list of two numeric vectors with 80 elements. The first element is the day of year when the survey was conducted for a given site. The second element is the time of day when the survey began.

coords: a numeric matrix with 80 rows and two columns containing the site coordinates (Easting and Northing) in UTM Zone 19. The proj4string is "+proj=utm +zone=19 +units=m +datum=NAD83".
