Collection of photographs taken during nest survival field work on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Photos include those taken of nests and nest habitat at time of revisit (i.e., after nests hatched or failed), completed datasheets, by crew members, and select images from the Plotwatcher Pro–Time Lapse cameras.
Directories include ANWR_nest_survival_nest_photos, ANWR_nest_survival_datasheet_photos, ANWR_nest_survival_other_photos, ANWR_nest_survival_plot_camera_photos.
Note, in 2019 camera date and times were not set correctly prior to deployment. See ‘ANWR nest survival nest data’ for date and time as set on the camera at time of deployment.
The data providers have invested considerable effort in QA/QC, but it is possible that undetected errors remain. It is strongly recommended that careful attention be paid to the contents of the metadata file associated with these data to evaluate data set limitations, restrictions or intended use. The originators of this dataset shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein.
Potential users of these data should first contact the data authors listed below, as potential biases may occur within the data depending on the intended use. Therefore, potential users should contact the data authors to discuss intended use and how these data may or may not be applicable.
General field methods are available in annual protocol documents that detail specific annual methodologies.
ANWR_nest_survival_nest_photos: photographs of nests and vegetation around nests at time of nest revisit (i.e., after nests hatched or failed) organized by year. Naming convention for each photo is nest ID followed by ‘veg’ for vegetation photos.
ANWR_nest_survival_datasheet_photos: photographs of completed nest and nest plot datasheets by year.
ANWR_nest_survival_other_photos: other photographs taken during surveys. There is no naming convention for these files.
ANWR_nest_survival_plot_camera_photos: select images from Plotwatcher Pro–Time Lapse cameras organized by year. Naming convention for photos includes nest ID followed by description of photo.
