Wildlife population data from Grande Terre, New Caledonia, includes line transect abundance estimates and capture-mark-recapture records with biometric samples. The dataset covers observations from 4-5 sites over a 15-year period from 1994 to 2009. It was collected and provided by the organization SCIOPS.
Use Cases
- Estimate population abundance trends from line transect data across 4 sites.
- Analyze survival and movement rates using capture-mark-recapture records from 5 sites.
- Study animal morphometrics and genetics from collected blood and hair samples.
- Model temporal changes in wildlife populations from 1994 to 2009 time-series data.
Strengths
- 15-year temporal coverage from 1994 to 2009.
- Data collected from multiple sites (4 for transects, 5 for CMR).
- Includes multiple data types: abundance estimates, biometrics, and genetic samples.
Limitations
- Sample size and row count are unknown.
- Geographic scope is limited to Grande Terre, New Caledonia.
- Data is over a decade old, with no updates indicated after 2009.
