Software code for simulating elk and chronic wasting disease dynamics on the National Elk Refuge (version 2.0)
This software release contains the code necessary to run the chronic wasting disease (CWD) and elk population models used to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision on whether to continue to continue supplemental feeding of elk on the National Elk Refuge (NER). The models allow for five different management alternatives: continued feeding, reduced feeding, increased hunting...
Code for Population and survival models of greater sage-grouse to investigate effects of precipitation and drought in the Great Basin, USA
This repository includes R code to run nest, brood, and adult hierarchical logistic exposure models, used for analyzing survival responses of Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) to a suite of environmental covariates, with emphasis on precipitation and/or drought effects. An example population state-space model (the top model according to WAIC; see manuscript results and...
Evaluating elk distribution and conflict Version 2.0.0
This software release contains the code necessary to produce the elk habitat selection models used to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) feeding decisions for the National Elk Refuge. This update provides additional analyses pertaining to an additional management scenario considered by FWS ('Alternative D').
Navy Northrop Grumman Particle Tracking version 0.1
This software release contains a generalized workflow to setup particle tracking analyses to assess groundwater travel times at the Navy-Northrop-Grumman site, in Nassau County, New York. This approach uses the posterior "texture model" inset model described by Fienen and others (2024) and made available in Corson-Dosch and others (2023) that simulates groundwater flow in the sole-source...
Code for reproductive habitat mismatch influences chytrid infection dynamics in a tropical amphibian community
This repository contains data and code supporting the Gilbert et. al manuscript entitled, "Reproductive habitat mismatch influences chytrid infection dynamics in a tropical amphibian community". The objective of the paper is to identify the influence of life history, rainfall, and habitat on chytrid infection dynamics in a frog community in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. The code (see...
Marginalized space-time point process models for inferring animal resource selection and species distribution from telemetry data
This project compared methods for estimating large scale patterns of animal resource selection and species distribution to demonstrate the benefits of marginalized space-time point process models.
