  • United States Fish and Wildlife Service, L. Polansky, L. Mitchell, and K. Newman. 2024. Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) life cycle model input data used in the article "Combining multiple data sources with different biases in state-space models for population dynamics" appearing in Ecology and Evolution Volume13, Issue6, June 2023, e10154 with DOI:10.1002/ece3.10154. ver 2. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/DOI_PLACE_HOLDER (Accessed 2024-12-28).

  • Synthesized data used for fitting delta smelt population dynamics models, essentially consisting of predictor variables (environmental conditions and indices of prey and predators) and response variables (abundance indices). Input data is sourced from a variety of both federal and California state government monitoring programs taking place within the San Francisco Estuary, California. These include California Department of Fish and Wildlife fish surveys, Interagency Ecological Program's Environmental Monitoring Program for zooplankton, California Department of Water Resources' Dayflow, and United States Geological Survey water monitoring data. The sourced data are recorded from sub-hourly to monthly time scales and at various spatial scales, aggregated at monthly or greater time scales using summary statistics (e.g. means) and are not spatially explicit but use spatial stratification approaches for statistic calculation as appropriate.
