R Code, Data, and Output Supporting: A within-lake occupancy model for starry stonewort, Nitellopsis obtusa, to support early detection and monitoring

These data and files support the paper that is in prep and almost ready for submission to Journal of Applied Ecology tentatively called: Seek and ye shall find? Within-lake occupancy modeling for finding stealthy aquatic invaders. It contains both input files and data as well as processed output files and data from the modeling effort described in the paper, which uses predictor variables to predict both occupancy and detection of within-lake locations by starry stonewort, an invasive aquatic macrophyte. The files being submitted include everything needed to fully replicate and further interpret our results, and provides a framework for constructing similar models in similar contexts. It is being released now because the manuscript is nearly completion and submission of the data and code used is a requirement of both our funding sources as well as the target journal.
