issj {unmarked}

Distance-sampling data for the Island Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma insularis)

Description

Data were collected at 307 survey locations ("point transects") on Santa Cruz Island, California during the Fall of 2008. The distance data are binned into 3 distance intervals [0-100], (100-200], and (200-300]. The coordinates of the survey locations as well as 3 habitat covariates are also included.

Usage
