Data for fitting spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models to estimate spatially explicit demographics of Mojave desert tortoises on a demography plot in California, USA
These data are comprised of input files formatted for fitting spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models to estimate Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) density and sex by size class compositions on a previously unsampled demography plot in the Mojave Desert in California, USA. Data were collected during capture-mark-recapture surveys to detect tortoises on a 1-km2 plot within the South Range of U.S. Department of Navy - Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (NAWSCL). Surveys were conducted over four days during September 2022. Data were collected as part of a study to estimate tortoise population demographics over time on NAWSCL.
