The roselaari subspecies of Red Knot is one of the rarest shorebird populations breeding in North America, based on a the current population size estimate of 17,000 individuals (Carmona et al 2013). As a result of suspected declines,the roselaari subspecies has been designated as threatened by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada and was petitioned for listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to not conduct a full status review for listing was based on the lack of substantial information identifying threats and population trends (USFWS 2011). The apparent low population size coupled with the scarcity of information on many demographic and...

This R code uses the nest card data (“Nest_Cards_1985_2019_QC.csv”), cumulative observer experience data (“cumnest.csv”), and the output from the detection model to produce nest population estimates for focal species or species groups. Model results used are the the maximum likelihood estimates and covariance matrix from Program Mark for “model 7” or from a Bayesian posterior distribution based on a generalized linear mixed model for detection with random effects for plot, year, and crew. Results from “model 7” are produced only to provide population estimates based on legacy methods as reported in past reports. For final estimates, results from the Bayesian posterior should be used. Result from either model cannot...

The Spectacled Recovery Plan identified annual nesting surveys as the primary method to assess recovery status for Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) subpopulation. In addition to documenting population status for spectacled eiders, the survey provides annual information on egg production, nesting effort, phenology, and habitat use for three other focal species including cackling geese, emperor geese, and greater white-fronted geese. Numbers of nests of the four species are stable or increasing in the short-term (2007-2016) and long-term (1985-2016). In 2016, the estimated number of spectacled eider nests (9,464) was the second highest in the history of the survey, but nest success was poor and clutch size very...

Coastal wetlands purify water, protect coastal communities from storms, sequester (store) carbon, and provide habitat for fish and wildlife. They are also vulnerable to climate change. In particular, changes in winter climate (warmer temperatures and fewer freeze events) may transform coastal wetlands in the northern Gulf of Mexico, as mangrove forests are expected to expand their range and replace salt marshes. The objective of this research was to evaluate the ecological implications of mangrove forest migration and salt marsh displacement. As part of this project, researchers identified important thresholds for ecosystem changes and highlighted coastal areas in the southeastern U.S. (e.g., Texas, Louisiana,...

This is the raw nest card data as transcribed from the hard copy nest cards used in the field, 1985 to 2019. No attempt has been made for quality control on these data. These data are quality control using the R code in the file ‘Nest_Cards_QC.R’ to produce the data used for population estimate in file ‘Nest_Cards_1985_2019_QC.csv’. These data should not generally be used or distributed other than when the quality control process is revised and downstream data file need to be recreated (i.e., information is needed from these raw data that is not represented in the quality control files).

This document is a report on a project for a Masters student thesis to understand distance sampling to estimate eider and goose nest density. The abstract from the report is:The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service currently conducts annual surveys to estimate bird nest abundanceon the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska. The current method involves intensive searching on large plots withthe goal of finding every nest on the plot. Distance sampling is a well-established transect-based methodto estimate density or abundance that accounts for imperfect detection of objects. It relies on estimatingthe probability of detecting an object given its distance from the transect line, or the detection function.Simulations were done using...
