Annual assessment of nesting populations of geese on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) provides information for biologists, participants in cooperative goose management plans, and Pacific Flyway technical committees. A ground-based sampling procedure has been used since 1986 to estimate the number of total nests, active nests, and eggs for cackling geese, emperor geese, greater white-fronted geese, and spectacled eiders. Annual information on the size of the nesting population and potential number of young produced contributes long term data needed to understand goose and eider population ecology and better manage these species. The survey has been the primary method of measuring recovery status for the western population...

This is a comma delimited text file of the bird observations for the Arctic Coastal Plain survey. These observations have undergone an extensive quality control process that is ongoing and corrected several errors in the source data. Point observation of birds are given in coordinate reference system EPSG:4326 and are accurate only to +/- 500m. The field "Year" gives the calendar year that the survey was flown, "Stratum" gives the transect density strata name, "NavTransect" gives the transect identifier used for navigation by the pilot (this is not necessarily the same as the design transect), and "Obs_Type" is the social group (single, pair, etc.) of the bird observation, "Num" is the number of observation of...

FY2019Multijurisdictional, international landscape with many shared priorities but lacks landscape (inter-jurisdictional) perspective. Landscape conservation design process will provide landscape context and future scenarios to support coordinated conservation investment.FY2020Entering Phase 2 of a 3-year project, a Landscape Conservation Design (LCD) will deliver a set of strategies that the Crown Managers Partnership and dozens of stakeholders can deploy to achieve desired ecological conditions based on defined, measurable resource outcomes across the Crown of the Continent ecosystem. LCD is a holistic, participatory process bringing stakeholders together to define a desired future for the Crown landscape and...

This is an SQLite GeoPackage simple feature linestring vector database of the Arctic Coastal Plain survey flow tracks in coordinate reference system EPSG:4326. There is one layer for each year 2007 to 2023. The field"Year" gives the calendar year that the transects were flown, "Stratum" gives the strata name, "NavTransect" gives the transect identifier used for navigation by the pilot (this is not necessarily the same as the design transect), and the "geom" field gives the simple feature Well Known Text geometry data of the approximate flight path recreated from bird observations. See the GitHub site https://github.com/USFWS/ACP-Mapping for more information. This product was produced from the file ACPmapping.R and...

This project aims to estimate spatial and temporal trends of waterfowl and waterbirds on the Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) of Alaska from 2007 to present. The main approach is motivated by Amundson et al. (2019) using space-time generalized additive models (GAMs, Wood, 2017) but with some improvements to handle observer effects and to associate sampling effort to specific spatial locations along a sampled transect similar to Miller et al. (2013). As part of this effort, a major data quality control process was begun in March 2022 that led to the correction of many data errors and re-formatting of the raw 2007 to 2023 data (available at here) to make it more accessible and usable to outside partners. Because of the...
The code repository for the quality control processing, data creation, modelling, and mapping or trend estimation is at https://github.com/USFWS/ACP-Mapping. The full history of the quality control process and issues is documented in R code file in this repository. Please report any addition errors to https://github.com/USFWS/ACP-Mapping/issues and follow update of this repository to keep track of new errors and updates to data sets, maps, or trend estimates.

This is an SQLite GeoPackage simple feature vector database of spectacled eider relative densities predicted from a generalized additive model across the Arctic Coastal Plain. These densities are "relative" because year- or observer-specific detection is not incorporated. However, the estimation model include observer as a random effect and predictions are made after removing the effect of observer (i.e., at the average observer). Each year is a separate layer named by year. Predictions are gridded into cells 750m per side but are trimmed to the ACP survey area, so some cells are smaller. For each year, the variable 'fit' gives the expected density, 'se.fit' gives the standard error of the fit, 'Sample.Label' is...

This is a zipped up folder of all data, data products, and metadata for the Arctic Coastal Plain Survey. It includes the quality controlled design and bird observation data and reconstructed flight tracks. Metadata is provided as human-readable html files.

This is an SQLite GeoPackage simple feature multilinestring vector database of the Arctic Coastal Plain survey transects in coordinate reference system EPSG:4326. There is one layer for each year 2007 to 2023, although in general the there is a four panel rotation that varies each year. All years are provided because implementation of the panel design varied through time. The field"Year" given the calendar year that the transects were implemented, "Stratum" gives the strata name, "Transect" gives the transect identifier, and the "geom" field gives the simple feature Well Known Text geometry data. Note that these transect are the idealized design and are not an exact record of the true flight path or survey effort....

The role of lynx dispersal in maintaining their populations at the landscape scale is unclear. A large proportion of local lynx populations are known to disperse following a snowshoe hare population crash, but whether these dispersal events contribute to the cyclic dynamics of neighboring populations is not well understood. If lynx dispersal does play an important role in lynx population dynamics then the conservation of dispersal corridors is critical to maintaining those dynamics. However, we currently have no information on the habitat requirements of dispersing lynx in relation to human land use, such as housing developments, road building, timber harvest, and mining, all of which could have a substantial impact...

This is an SQLite GeoPackage simple feature multipolygon vector database of the Arctic Coastal Plain survey area transect density strata. There is only one layer that gives the strata boundaries in EPSG:4326. The field "Statra" gives the strata name and the "geom" field gives the simple feature Well Known Text geometry data. See the [GitHub site](https://github.com/USFWS/ACP-Mapping) for more information. This product was produced from the file ACPmapping.R and is simplified from the original strata files distributed at https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/65419a58d34ee4b6e05bd001.
