Northern bobwhite adult breeding season and nest survival Missouri 2014-2018

These data and code are associated with the publication in The Journal of Wildlife Management entitled "Northern Bobwhite breeding season and nest survival are greater on native grasslands." We evaluated the influence of vegetation cover type, woody vegetation structure and composition, and habitat management on nest survival and adult survival from May through September in southwest Missouri 2014-2018.

Methods
Survival observations were collected using radio-telemetry methods; we tracked radio-transmittered adults and monitored nests attended by marked adults through the breeding season. Vegetation and habitat management covariates surrounding locations of nest and adult survival observations were calculated from maps derived from field observations, management histories, LiDAR data, and aerial imagery.
