This repository contains a journal template for the Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management. The template uses Quarto, a Markdown-based "open-source scientific and technical publishing system." The template uses an MS Word file as a template to format a manuscript for the Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management. Users will want to edit the qmd file and the bib file if they adapt this template for

Amid climate change and rapidly shifting land uses, effective methods for monitoring natural resources are critical to support scientifically-informed resource management decisions. The practice of using Autonomous Monitoring Units (AMUs) to monitor wildlife species has grown immensely in the past decade, with monitoring projects across species from birds, to bats, amphibians, insects, terrestrial

Model Viewer is a computer program that displays the results of three-dimensional ground-water models. Scalar data (such as hydraulic head or solute concentration) may be displayed as a solid or a set of isosurfaces, using a red-to-blue color spectrum or a custom color scale to represent a range of scalar values. Vector data (such as velocity or specific discharge) are represented by lines oriente

The GrAdient-Related Discharge in an Everglades Network (GARDEN) software computes flow in the Greater Everglades with a command-line Python script (Python Software Foundation. The script validates command-line arguments, fetches necessary EDEN water-level and depth data by means of the Xarray Python package, and then converts the data to imperial units (centimeters to feet). The main calculation

The operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) Earth Resources Observation and Science center (EROS) Science Processing Architecture (ESPA) Open Source project provides tools for processing satellite imagery data to generate evapotranspiration (ET) products. The tools include functionalities for: Processing ESPA files to generate ET fraction (ETf) and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) d

This repository contains an example application of the Meta-IPM Python package (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9427H6M). The specific application focuses on the Illinois River using existing public data. The code for this project assumes the reader is familiar with Jupyter Notebooks, enough Conda and Python to install the Meta-IPM package, and population ecology. The example also assumes the user is fam

MetaIPM is a Python package (Python Software Foundation 2020) that models meta-population dynamics and continuous growth rates via an integral projection model (IPM) for species living in distinct habitat patches. The package stems from a model that compares invasive carp population control strategies (Erickson et al. 2018). For example, Erickson et al. (2017) used an R predecessor version of this

This software release contains 7 R markdown files, the contents of which are described below. The raw data analyzed in these files is available at the following DOI: https://scholarworks.umass.edu/data/175/ 1. SEMs_Native.Rmd - Code for the piecewise structural equation model (pSEM) that predicts native plant richness on islands using the covariates described in the manuscript. -

#ArrayAbundance: An R package to explore and model detection data from antenna arrays The goal of Rpackage is to help modelers format passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag array detection data for data exploration and for analysis with mark-recapture models. The package includes functions to categorize array detection data into movement categories (e.g., migratory movement versus potential resi
