Eric T. Hileman 20200626 spreadsheet https://doi.org/10.5066/P90IC37O There are two datasets included in this entry. The diurnal dataset contains 28 columns of data collected during transects surveys. The nocturnal dataset contains 52 columns. We randomly select 56 sites, each 50 m in length, from 37,968 m of transects spanning the island that were originally created for bird surveys in 1982 through the cooperative efforts of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Department of Natural Resources of CNMI, and the U.S. Forest Service. For diurnal surveys, 56 transects were surveyed twice per day for 1–3 consecutive days resulting in six survey occasions. For nocturnal surveys, we surveyed 51 of the 56 transects 4 times per night for 1–3 consecutive nights resulting in 12 survey occasions. Each survey was alotted ~10 min to complete. All species encountered during this time were recorded. The covariate enhanced vegetation index (10-meter resolution) was derived using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from dates around and through the sampling periods: 12 June 2018, 22 June 2018, 02 July 2018, 22 July 2018, 27 July 2018, and 11 Aug 2018. Elevation data was resampled to 5-m resolution from a native 3-meter resolution. These data were collected to model species occupancy and construct species distribution models for Saipan's terrestrial herpetofauna. Appropriate use of data are for estimation of occupancy and detection probabilities. 20180709 20180812 observed Complete None planned 145.6698 145.8400 15.3000 15.0728 Saipan ISO 19115 Topic Category biota environment USGS Thesaurus maps and atlases biogeography invasive species native species reptiles amphibians USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:5e41e9ffe4b0edb47be63c89 Common geographic areas Saipan Northern Mariana Islands Cartesian Coordinates of survey locations have been omitted to protect sensitive Perochirus ateles locality data, a species listed as endangered by the CNMI in1991 and as vulnerable by the IUCN in 2017.
