For this thesis project, which used all of the nest data up to NestAutoID #80020. Any nests added after that point were not included in this thesis project. The individual data owners each signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) which described their involvement with the thesis work, as well as any conditions or restrictions for use of their data. All of these MOUs are saved in the same location as this metadata document.
Converting grid cells to current watersheds
Nests with just a grid cell recorded were assigned by Emma B. Smith and Alice Boyle. We assigned these nests to watersheds based either on which watershed contained a large majority of the grid cell, or based on knowledge about each species’ habitat use and the available habitat on each of the watersheds at the time. Below is a table with a list of each of the grid cells we assigned in the dataset, how many nests of each species were in the dataset in each of those grid cells, which current watersheds each grid cell were contained in, the percentage of the grid cell contained in each watershed, our reason for assigning each species to a watershed, and the watershed we assigned it to.
