    <descript>
      <abstract>These capture-mark-recapture data for chorus frogs contribute to the project abstracted below:
We used 29 years of data on boreal chorus frogs at two sites to view life-history, estimate demographic parameters, assess weather-related covariates, and determine the magnitude of process variation in target parameters. Average estimates of survival probabilities were 0.51 (Standard error [SE]=0.04) and 0.43 (SE=0.04), and average estimates of recruitment probabilities were 0.64 (SE=0.07) and 0.44 (SE=0.04). Process variation accounted for greater than 76% of the total temporal variation in both parameters at one pond and in survival probability alone at the other.</abstract>
      <purpose>Data were collected to inform conservation and management of amphibian populations. Information will be used to understand demographics of natural populations (survival, recruitment, and population growth rate), disease, and occupancy of amphibians across a landscape</purpose>

      <eaover>capture mark recapture file for chorus frogs at Lily Pond. 

Dates indicate day/month/year of capture effort.

column A = animal identification number, multipl animals may have same number but a different color of elastomer, or the same number may refer to a male and to a female. non-number values identify a particular animal. 

column B = color of elastomer used for identification
column C = sex; J = juvenile; M = male; F = female
column D - CS: 1 = animal was captured on that date; 0 = animal was not captured on that date</eaover>
