Data and code from: Addressing widespread detection heterogeneity in avian occupancy modeling using passive acoustic surveys

This repository includes 90 simulated avian monitoring datasets, each
consisting of data for 160 occupied sites, as well as the results of field
PAM surveys for American woodcock (Scolopax minor), Wood Thrush
(Hylocichla mustelina), and Eastern Whip-poor-will (Antrostomus
vociferus).  We used three occupancy modeling approaches
(single-season static occupancy models, the Royle-Nichols abundance model,
and zero-inflated beta-binomial models) to estimate occupancy in each
dataset. We include model fitting results for each monitoring dataset
under a variety of surveying intensities (i.e., subset to a varying number
of visits to each site) and, for the simulated data, varying underlying
occupancy rates (i.e., 20 %, 50 %, or 80 % occupancy for the
simulated data). This repository also includes the scripts used to
generate simulated data, fit models, and generate the figures for the main
manuscript and the supplemental information. These data and scripts can be
used to investigate the scenarios under which animal behavior violates the
assumptions of occupancy models. It can also be used to understand how
assumption violation impacts the accuracy of occupancy estimation under a
variety of survey design and modeling choices.
