Louisiana Waterthrush Latitude Index

The Latitude is the average latitude of all 0.5 degree cells covering the eastern United States and southeastern Canada between longitude 60W and 102 W and latitude 24N and 49N, weighted by the unconditional probability of occupancy of Louisiana Waterthrush. Values given for the years 1997 to 2013. The Latitude_SE is the estimated standard error for the Latitude. Description of the data and analysis used to generate these values is given in: Clement, M.J., J.E. Hines, J.D. Nichols, K.L. Pardieck, D.J. Ziolkowski Jr. 2016.
