Summary

Data includes results collected in the Mohave Desert during 2016 using three survey methods (acoustic recording units, camera traps, and call-count surveys) to detect gamebirds, primarily Gambel's quail (Callipepla gambelii) but also including records of mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), Eurasian collared-dove (Streptopelia decaocto), and chukar (Alectoris chukar). ARU data includes the Selections (portions of the recording identified as potentially containing a Gambel's quail call) and Detections (quail calls confirmed following audible and visual verification of the recording and spectrogram). ARU data provided is summarized into hourly segments where selections occurred among five study sites. Camera trap data includes summary of [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to analyze the relative variability of multiple survey methods and protocols used to monitor or index populations of arid-land gamebirds. This analysis provides useful information for federal, state, tribal , and non-governmental groups seeking to develop operational protocols to monitor gamebird populations or develop habitat:population relationships.
