Hamer et al_2016_JAPPL_water quality

This file contains OpenBUGS code for deriving estimates of initial site occupancy, local colonisation and extinction, number of occupied sites and metapopulation growth rate from a model of Water Quality. Parameters included are effective wetland area (effarea), mean cover of aquatic vegetation (aqveg), connectivity (conn), turbidity (turb) and electrical conductivity (cond)

Hamer et al_2016_JAPPL_base model

This file contains OpenBUGS code for deriving estimates of initial site occupancy, local colonisation and extinction, number of occupied sites and metapopulation growth rate from a Base model. Parameters included are effective wetland area (effarea), mean cover of aquatic vegetation (aqveg) and connectivity (conn)

Hamer et al_2016_JAPPLE_Habitat&Detection_Data

This file contains data on effective wetland area and mean proportion cover of aquatic vegetation at 33 sites sampled in each of four years. The water chemistry parameters electrical conductivity (EC, log transformed) and turbidity (ntu) are provided as a mean over the four years of sampling. A detection matrix is provided that contains a '1' whenever Litoria raniformis was detected during a survey. 'NA' denotes that a survey was not conducted at that time. A distance matrix includes edge-to-edge distances (metres) between all 33 sites
