Dataset: Habitat scale model output of Port Fourchon, LA dervied from drone and satellite imagery taken in fall and spring 2023.

Statistical intermediate that compares the number of times a given model was within 2AIC points of the lowest AIC score for that scale. The model that is selected as having the lowest AIC score most often is ultimately selected as the 'best' model and used to study variable effects over scale. Naming scheme is: scale of analysis, species code, "model_comparison". Parameters in the .csv files of ...

List of models that were determined to be within 2 AIC points of the best model for each permutation of edge and buffer. Parameters of the .csv files: Column Name,Column Description [Include meaning of any codes or flags used in data column as well as detection limits.],Units of measurement,missing data/no data value edge,"distance from the marsh edge in meters used to define edge habitat (1,3,o...

Tables that show selected model (as seen in the top_model.txt file corresponding to the species and analysis) outputs over all scales in the analysis. naming convention follows: analysis scale, "_", species code, "output_over_scales.csv". Parameters of the .csv files: Column Name,Column Description [Include meaning of any codes or flags used in data column as well as detection limits.],Units of ...

main code file, takes inputs from linked datasets and produces outputs shown here

AIC scores for all models tested at every permutation for every species. naming convention is: species code, "_", scale of analysis, "edge", edge distance (m), "buf", buffer distance (m).

Text files with the formula of the top model chosen for the analysis for each species at each analysis scale. Naming convention is: analysis scale, species code, "_topmodel".
