M., Walters, A., Webster, M., & Chalfoun, A. D. (2021). Data from: Informed breeding dispersal following stochastic changes to patch quality in a pond-breeding amphibian. Dryad Digital Repository, https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.2ngf1vhnc METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: capture-mark-recapture methods of adult boreal toads Methods for processing the data: data are in the raw format collected in the field Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: We used the RMark package in Program R to analyze and interpret data, though other software may be used and should produce the same results. DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Capture-Recapture_ChallCreek Number of variables: 6 Number of cases/rows: 1563 (including the top row of column names) Variable List: Date = date when each individual toad was captured in month/day/year format Year = year when each individual toad was captured (e.g., 2015, 2016) Survey = survey number for the capture-mark-recapture survey at each site (e.g., 1, 2, 3) Creek = stream where the individual was captured (all were captured at Chall Creek in this dataset) Pond = the specific breeding site at Chall Creek where the individual was captured Pit_Tag = the unique identifier for the individual that was captured. Numbers in this column were derived from passive integrated transponder tags, which were inserted subcutaneously in each adult boreal toad upon capture. In other words, each unique number in this column represents a unique individual.
