iButton miniature temperature data logger effect on bird nest survival estimation

This dataset was used to (1) examine the possible effect of thermal data-loggers on nest success through hatching for grass- and shrub-nesting songbirds that differed in their parasite egg-accepting and -rejecting behavior, (2) examine the effect of using daily temperature data versus less-frequent nest-visit data on statistical power, bias, and precision when estimating nest daily survival rate (DSR), and (3) compare these two approaches using a simulation study and field data. We monitored survival of nests found in agricultural landscapes and used a binomial logistic regression with main effects for data logger and parasite accepting or rejecting status and an interaction. It is based on nest survival records collected in Iowa, U.S. between 2015-2017 and simulated data produced within. <br> <strong>Change log:</strong> updated metadata to include link to open access version of thesis.

本数据集用于开展三项研究：（1）探究温感数据记录器（thermal data-loggers）对以草丛和灌丛为巢址的鸣禽的巢孵化成功率的潜在影响，这类鸣禽在寄生卵接受与排斥行为上存在差异；（2）在估算巢日存活率（daily survival rate, DSR）时，对比使用每日温度数据与低频访巢数据对统计效力、偏差与精度的影响；（3）通过模拟研究与实地数据对比这两种分析方法。我们对农业景观中发现的巢的存活情况进行了监测，并采用包含数据记录仪、寄生卵接受/排斥状态主效应及交互项的二项逻辑回归模型开展分析。本数据集基于2015至2017年间在美国艾奥瓦州收集的巢存活记录，以及本数据集内部生成的模拟数据。<br><strong>更新日志:</strong> 已更新元数据，添加学位论文开放获取版本的链接。MNO
