Do we know anything about mountain bird watch? The data download takes me here and there doesn't seem to be any data just desciption of the data and instructions: http://www.birdscanada.org/birdmon/default/resources.jsp
Mountain birdwatch also isn't listed in their dataset download form.
I can email them directly at mbw@vtecostudies.org if there isn't knowledge about the dataset
For the Cowley snakes, they organized the data summed by site or summed by years so you couldn't get both site and year. I went with year since we need the temporal data but wanted to double check.
This link just takes to you an email address for George Pisani at the Kansas Biological Survey, should I contact him for the full dataset? "broader information on bird abundance and natural communities in the region can be obtained by contacting the Kansas Biological Survey"
Need to check out Long-term Studies of Vertebrate Communities from a library to get Rainbow Bay Frogs
Need to check out Marine Mammals and Fisheries book from a library to get CA coastline molluscs data
We don't have Jornada arthropod data correct? I only see d215 which is plants.
If not the link provided is dead: http://tropical.lternet.edu/knb/metacat/knb-lterjrn.20020550.9933/lter
d306 (long term trends in Lepidoptera in hardwood forests, Hubbard brook LTER) richnesstest function is throwing an error, I suspect because of spatial grain. It had 4 potential site grains so I need help figuring out which one(s) to use
@gmyenni - Is this, https://github.com/gmyenni/RareStabilizationData, the associated data from your preprint? Can we integrate anything we don't have yet into the data we're putting together to look at core-transient dynamics?
Thanks @ethanwhite! I'll wait for confirmation that we can use the data before moving forward with cleaning it.
For the Great Basin mammal abundance (d307), I am getting a failed richness years test. The dates range from 1962-1993 and there are 2 sites that span more than 6 years (lengthYears =33 for both).
Yes, that repo has all the data, as I used them in the paper. I think the only one you for which you need your own written permission is the Fitch snake data (Kansas Biological Survey).
Awesome. Thanks @gmyenni!
Do we want to include this in our analysis? "The North American Breeding Bird Survey Results and Analysis. Version 96.4. Patuxent Wildlife Research Center" Pawnee songbirds and raptors. Seems like a subset of our dataset 1 (all of BBS) and I don't want to double count.
dataset is from rarestabilizationdata and is the "shortgrass steppe" under birds
done
