This file contains information and explanation for the data that accompany the following publication: Stillman, A.N., T.J. Lorenz, R.B. Siegel, R.L. Wilkerson, M. Johnson, and M.W. Tingley (2021). "Conditional natal dispersal provides a mechanism for populations tracking resource pulses after fire". Behavioral Ecology. __________________________________ Dataset: dispersal_distribution.csv This file contains data for the interval-censored distribution of dispersal distances for 28 juvenile black-backed woodpeckers. RowID = Each row contains information for one bird. Final_known = Binary. "1" if the bird's final dispersal location was known, "0" if the final location was unknown. If "0", the distance is treated as an interval. min_est_dist = The estimated minimum dispersal distance. See Appendix S1 for methods. Left interval = The left side of interval-censored data. Right_interval = The right side of the interval-censored data. If the distance was known, the left and right sides are the same. Dataset: dispersal_distance.csv This file contains input data for models of dispersal distance. RowID = Each row contains information for one bird. Total_Dist = The distance from the natal site (nest) to the known, final dispersal location (e.g., SY breeding location). log_Totaldist = The natural logarithm of Total_Dist. T.fire = The number of years since the natal fire burned, measured at the time of fledging. st_Mass = The mass of each bird at the time of tagging, standardized based on days before fledging. Sex = Sex of the bird. "F" = female, "M" = male. Elev = Elevation at the nest site (m). Fire.size = Area burned by the natal fire, in square km. Dist_to_U = Distance from the nest to the perimeter of the fire area. Nearest.fire = Distance (km) from the nest to the nearest neighboring burn > 100 ha in area. S_T.fire = Standardized T.fire variable. S_st_Mass = Standardized st_Mass variable. S_Fire_size = Standardized Fire.size variable. S_Elev = Standardized Elev variable. S_Dist_to_U = Standardized Dist_to_U variable. S_Nearest = Standardized Nearest.fire variable. *All continuous variables were standardized by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation. Dataset: fall_dispersal_status.csv This file contains input data for false-positive event detection models of fall dispersal status. RowID = Each row contains information for one bird. Away_end_fall = Binary. "0" if the bird was detected within the natal fire area at the end of fall, "1" if not (i.e., either found outside of natal fire, or undetected) p = Detection probability based on search effort. Value of "1" for known dispersal locations. T.fire = The number of years since the natal fire burned, measured at the time of fledging. st_Mass = The mass of each bird at the time of tagging, standardized based on days before fledging. Sex = Sex of the bird. "F" = female, "M" = male. Elev = Elevation at the nest site (m). Fire.size = Area burned by the natal fire, in square km. Dist_to_U = Distance from the nest to the perimeter of the fire area. Nearest.fire = Distance (km) from the nest to the nearest neighboring burn > 100 ha in area. S_T.fire = Standardized T.fire variable. S_st_Mass = Standardized st_Mass variable. S_Fire_size = Standardized Fire.size variable. S_Elev = Standardized Elev variable. S_Dist_to_U = Standardized Dist_to_U variable. S_Nearest = Standardized Nearest.fire variable. *All continuous variables were standardized by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation. Dataset: spring_dispersal_status.csv This file contains input data for false-positive event detection models of spring dispersal status. RowID = Each row contains information for one bird. Away_end_fall = Binary. "0" if the bird was detected within the natal fire area during spring, "1" if not (i.e., either found outside of natal fire, or undetected) p = Detection probability based on search effort. Value of "1" for known dispersal locations. T.fire = The number of years since the natal fire burned, measured at the time of fledging. st_Mass = The mass of each bird at the time of tagging, standardized based on days before fledging. Sex = Sex of the bird. "F" = female, "M" = male. Elev = Elevation at the nest site, in meters above sea level. Fire.size = Area burned by the natal fire, in square km. Dist_to_U = Distance from the nest to the perimeter of the fire area. Nearest.fire = Distance (km) from the nest to the nearest neighboring burn > 100 ha in area. S_T.fire = Standardized T.fire variable. S_st_Mass = Standardized st_Mass variable. S_Fire_size = Standardized Fire.size variable. S_Elev = Standardized Elev variable. S_Dist_to_U = Standardized Dist_to_U variable. S_Nearest = Standardized Nearest.fire variable. *All continuous variables were standardized by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
