R scripts for analysis of fall photographic waterfowl surveys, Izembek NWR, Alaska, 2017-2019
October 31, 2022
This code repo contains three novel scripts used in Weiser et al. (2022): one to calculate the footprint of an aerial photo (01_function_photo_footprint.r), one to run a simulation to evaluate sample sizes for the photographic survey (02_photo_sample_size_sim.r), and one to run a simulation to evaluate sample sizes for the ocular survey (03_ocular_sample_size_sim.r). For more information on the background and purpose of this study, see Weiser et al. (2022).

Optimizing surveys of fall-staging geese using aerial imagery and automated counting
Ocular aerial surveys allow efficient coverage of large areas and can be used to monitor abundance and distribution of wild populations. However, uncertainty around resulting population estimates can be large due to difficulty in visually identifying and counting animals from aircraft, as well as logistical challenges in estimating detection probabilities. Photographic aerial surveys can mitigate
