title: Data and metadata for "Successful eradication of invasive American bullfrogs leads to co-extirpation of emerging pathogens"

description: There are 8 data files (csv) and 1 metadata file (.docx) linked with the manuscript: Hossack, Hall, Crawford, Goldberg, Muths, Sigafus, and Chambert. 2023. <strong>Successful eradication of invasive American bullfrogs leads to co-extirpation of emerging pathogens. Conservation Letters.</strong> <br> Individual Detection Files: There are 5 “..._detect” files (csv) with data representing whether DNA was detected on collected filters. Each of these files has columns for Site Code, Bullfrog Site, Site Type, and 9 columns indicating whether a filter was collected (represented by a 0 or 1; “-” = no filter collected) and whether DNA of target taxa was detected on that filter (0 or 1). The 5 file names indicate the target taxon (e.g., bullfrog_detect, ranaviruses_detect). Site Code: Numeric code representing a unique site. Site names are obscured because some are on private property and some host endangered species. BullfrogSite: Indicates whether a site was coded a priori as a site with bullfrogs. Yes= 1, No = 0. Site Type: Indicates whether a site was an eradication site (Treatment) or control site. pre_S1_....: Indicates whether a site was samples before (pre_) or after (post_) bullfrog eradication efforts occurred. There were up to 3 pre-eradication filter samples collected and up to 6 post-eradication samples. The end of the header (e.g., pre_s1_BF) indicates which taxon the results are for. Results from eDNA samples indicating whether target DNA was detected (1) or not (0) on a particular filter. There are 3 covariate files. <br> sample_covariates.csv Site Code: Numeric code representing a unique site. Site names are obscured because some are on private property and some host endangered species. Site Type: Indicates whether a site was an eradication site (Treatment) or control site. pre_S1..._VolFiltered....: Volume (mls) of water filtered for each eDNA filter collected. <br> sampling_dates.csv Site Code: Numeric code representing a unique site. Site names are obscured because some are on private property and some host endangered species. Site Type: Indicates whether a site was an eradication site (Treatment) or control site. pre_S1..._date....: Date (m/d/y) that a filter sample was collected. <br> site_covariates.csv Site Code: Numeric code representing a unique site. Site names are obscured because some are on private property and some host endangered species. BullfrogSite: Indicates whether a site was coded a priori as a site with bullfrogs. Yes= 1, No = 0. Site Type: Indicates whether a site was an eradication site (Treatment) or control site. fish_pres: Indicates whether a site was coded as hosting fishes or not. Yes= 1, No = 0. area_2016: Flooded extent (square meters) of sampled waterbody in fall/winter 2016. area_2020: Flooded extent (square meters) of sampled waterbody in winter 2020-2021. FilterType_2016: Indicates whether an eDNA sample was collected with a 0.45 uM filter or 5 uM filter in 2016. FilterType_2020: Indicates whether an eDNA sample was collected with a 0.45 uM filter or 5 uM filter in 2020-2021.
