Threatened Mallee Birds in Heathlands Project - Data for N-mixture models

Data used to generate N-mixture models for eight rare bird species in the semi-arid mallee/heathlands of south-eastern Australia. Species are listed in the file names. File types consist of: site attributes (SITE_COVARIATES)survey attributes (OBSERVATION_COVARIATES)counts of birds per survey - separate file per species (BIRD_OBSERVATIONS)Note that observations of most species relate to the same set of sites and surveys, however, for the Slender-billed Thornbill, we used a restricted set of sites and surveys. As a result the SITE_COVARIATES and OBSERVATION_COVARIATES files are different for this species.

本数据集用于构建澳大利亚东南部半干旱桉灌丛/石楠荒原（mallee/heathlands）内8种珍稀鸟类的N-混合模型（N-mixture models）。物种名称已在各文件名中列明。文件类型包含三类：样地属性文件（SITE_COVARIATES）、观测属性文件（OBSERVATION_COVARIATES）以及按物种分设独立文件的单次调查鸟类计数文件（BIRD_OBSERVATIONS）。需注意，多数物种的观测数据对应同一套样地与调查方案，但细嘴刺嘴莺（Slender-billed Thornbill）仅采用了受限的样地与调查子集，因此该物种对应的SITE_COVARIATES与OBSERVATION_COVARIATES文件存在差异。
