Description of files accompanying the paper Petrusková et al. (2021): Evaluating the potential effects of capturing and handling on subsequent observations of a migratory passerine through individual acoustic monitoring. Journal of Avian Biology. ============================================== male and observation info.xlsx This file in MS Excel format contains two sheets: 1: bird info: summary information for each individual Tree Pipit male recorded at the studied locality. For each bird, the following information is provided: male ID, dates of first and last observation based on individual acoustic monitoring (IAM) within the study period (2011-2019), ringing date and ring number (if relevant), years in which the male was recorded at the locality, years and dates when a territory change was observed during the breeding season, and reasons why a particular male was excluded from further analysis (if relevant). 2: observation dates: list of all dates when a particular male was recorded at the locality through IAM. ============================================== MARK-annual.inp An input file for capture-mark–recapture Cormack–Jolly–Seber analyses in the MARK program, focusing on apparent annual survival. For each year, presence or absence of a particular male at the locality from April 21 to 9 July on is indicated; the males are divided into groups based on their handling status (unhandled/handled). ============================================== MARK-season.inp An input file for capture-mark–recapture Cormack–Jolly–Seber analyses in the MARK program, focusing on both apparent within-breeding season survival and apparent between-breeding season survival. For each year, presence or absence of a particular male at the locality in four 20-day blocks (21 April–10 May, 11–30 May, 31 May–19 June, 20 June–9 July) is indicated; the males are divided into groups based on their handling status (unhandled/handled). ==============================================
