eurodip: European Dipper dataset

Description

This capture-recapture dataset on the European dipper bird covers 7 years (1981-1987 inclusive) of observations of captures within one of three zones. It is used in Chapter 5.

Arguments

Format

A data frame with 294 observations on the following 7 variables.

t1: non-capture/location on year 1981
t2: non-capture/location on year 1982
t3: non-capture/location on year 1983
t4: non-capture/location on year 1984
t5: non-capture/location on year 1985
t6: non-capture/location on year 1986
t7: non-capture/location on year 1987

Details

The data consists of markings and recaptures of breeding adults each year during the breeding period from early March to early June. Birds were at least one year old when initially banded. In eurodip, each row gof seven digits corresponds to a capture-recapture story for a given dipper, 0 indicating an absence of capture that year and, in the case of a capture, 1, 2, or 3 representing the zone where the dipper is captured. This dataset corresponds to three geographical zones covering 200 square kilometers in eastern France. It was kindly provided to us by J.D. Lebreton.
