Summary

We present one tabular data file to evaluate piping plover (Charadrius melodus) seasonal (breeding and nonbreeding) adult survival. These data were part of a study to examine adult (n = 3474) survival during 2012-2019 at breeding regions within the Northern Great Plains and nonbreeding regions in the Gulf and southern Atlantic Coasts of North America. This file includes USGS-funded data and not the full data used in the Larger Work. The seasonal adult survival data includes a multistate model encounter history.

Purpose

Piping plovers depend on ocean shorelines during the nonbreeding season and may periodically experience extreme environmental events, including hurricanes, harmful algal blooms, and oil spills. Certain extreme events are predicted to increase in frequency and severity, and this data was used to address concerns about nonbreeding season survival in response to these events. This data would additionally inform full-annual cycle population estimates for piping plovers breeding in the United States' Northern Great Plains.
