Description:
This manuscript is primarily an exploration of the statistical properties of nest-survival estimates for terrestrial songbirds. The Mayfield formulation described herein should allow researchers to test for complicated effects of stressors on daily survival and overall success, including cases in which the stressor's primary effect on success is to lengthen the overall nest-cycle. Our results should be interpreted as an optimistic beginning in understanding the quality of existing Mayfield daily survival estimates.
