Integrated Population Model With Climate Covariates for Three Breeding Populations of Wilson's Warbler (Cardellina pusilla)

Data files in this project were used in an integrated population model for three breeding populations of Wilson’s Warbler (Cardellina pusilla). Data span the years 1992-2008. Data include counts from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS; https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/BBS/RawData/; wiwa_bbs.csv), adult capture histories (wiwa_ch.csv) and age-specific capture data (wiwa_pdat.csv) from the Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship program (MAPS; http://www.birdpop.org/pages/maps.php), and covariate data derived from the ClimateNA (https://sites.ualberta.ca/~ahamann/data/climatena.html; wiwa_cmd_wt.csv and wiwa_tave_sp.csv) and National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) ⁄ National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Reanalysis (https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.html; wiwa_wind.csv) data sets. Data were prepared in R (https://www.R-project.org/) and the model was implemented with JAGS (http://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.net/). Details of data use are reported in Saracco and Rubenstein (in review): “Integrating broad-scale data to assess demographic and climatic contributions to population change in a declining songbird”. Analysis code are provided in wiwa_bbs_maps_ipm.R.
