Description:

Abstract:

This dataset consists of three tables relating to (1) detections of adult McKay's Buntings from line transect with distance estimation surveys on St. Matthew and Hall islands in Alaska between May 30 and June 29, 2003 and June 6 and 11, 2018, (2) environmental covariates associated with detections of adult McKay's Buntings in less than or equal to 250-m long contiguous transect segments, and (3) environmental covariates used to predict McKay's Bunting population size in less than or equal to 300 x 300-m pixels across the study area in each year, and to estimate population change between years.

Purpose:

These data were collected to (1) estimate McKay's Bunting population size in 2003 and 2018, (2) measure change in McKay's Bunting population size between years, and (3) identify environmental covariates associated with McKay's Bunting population size and population change.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Field measurements were cross-checked and verified with original field data sheets.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Attribute values fall within expected ranges and data were proofed for the presence of duplication and omission. Blank cells indicate that no data are available.

Completeness_Report:

We omitted detections of McKay's Buntings greater than 100 m from the transect line, in long direct flights overhead, or with missing GPS coordinates. Blank cells indicate that no data are available.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Positions determined by handheld Garmin GPS; accuracy estimated to be within 3 m.

Lineage:

Methodology:

Methodology_Type: Field
Methodology_Description:

Observers systematically surveyed line transects across St. Matthew and Hall islands to visually and aurally count adult McKay's Buntings out to 100 m on either side of the transect. Detections were recorded using handheld GPS units and distances were estimated using laser rangefinders.

Methodology:

Methodology_Type: Lab
Methodology_Description:

Data were transcribed from field data sheets into digital tables. We derived environmental covariate values from raster digital data (Fleming 2019; U.S. Geological Survey 2020) and calculated the mean of each covariate for transect segments and prediction grid pixels.
