The year column indicates the year in which the survey was conducted. Survey# refers to the number of the survey within a year (there were five surveys per year). Toads refers to whether toads were absent (a) or present (p). Mean air temp denotes mean air temperature for each survey, calculated as the mean of five temperature taken throughout the day. Mean water temp denotes mean air temperature for each survey, calculated as the mean of five temperature taken throughout the day. Mean temp differential denotes mean temperature differential and refers to the difference between the air and water temperature at a given time (means are then calculated for the five values per survey). Mitchells, mertens, crocs, gilberts, tree snakes, and panoptes refers to counts for each of those species, per survey.

The second set of data is to examine the effects of declines in monitor lizards on fledging success of crimson finches. The year column indicates the year of survey. Data for mitchells and mertens are mean counts for the year, and finches refers to fledging success for that year.
