Data for: Reintroduced Oriental stork bayesian hierarchical model data

Long-lived territorial bird populations often consist of a few territorial breeding adults and many non-breeding individuals. Some populations are threatened by anthropogenic activities, because of human conflicts for high-quality breeding habitat. Therefore, habitat restoration projects have been widely implemented to improve avian population status. In conjunction with habitat restoration, conservation translocations have been increasingly implemented. Adequate non-breeder survival can be a key factor in the success of these attempts because non-breeding birds may represent reservoirs for the replacement of breeders. The maintenance of breeding pair numbers is also influenced by the transition rate of non-breeders to breeders. The reintroduction of Oriental stork (Ciconia boyciana), a long-lived, territorial, endangered species, was initiated in Japan in 2005 using captive birds in hopes of increasing the population’s use of restored habitat. Our objective of this study was to elucida..., Oriental stork observation records were collected from Hyogo Park of the Oriental white stork, which is also the repository for all observation records of ringed storks by the general public and media, as well as the home of the Inter-institutional Panel on Population Management of the Oriental white stork., , # Reintroduced Oriental Stork Bayesian hierarchical model data

To estimate annual survival rates based on mark-resight histories, the Cormack-Jolly-Seber (CJS) model was adapted (Cormack 1964, Jolly 1965, Seber 1965), incorporating state-space likelihood as outlined by Gimenez et al. (2007) and Kéry and Schaub (2011).  The data of released (*n* = 74) and wild-born (*n* = 274) birds during 2005­–2019 were used for this analysis.

The breeding participation rate was modelled using hierarchical logistic regression. Released (*n* = 56) and wild-born (*n* = 165) birds aged more than three years old in the wild were used for this analysis.
