We monitored golden-cheeked warbler territories in 10 plots within an urban preserve to determine abundance, delineate territories, and document breeding success. We determined environmental conditions across the study period to examine temporal and landscape effects. We then used these data to estimate adult survival and productivity and relate these vital rates to environmental conditions experienced during our study period. We used supported covariates to predict potential effects on this population 25 years into the future.

These data and code are associated with the publication in Ecosphere entitled "Urban land cover and El Nino events negatively impact population viability of an endangered North American songbird." We performed an integrated population model to evaluate the effect of climate patterns and urban land cover on the viability of an endangered wood-warbler breeding in central Texas. We used territory monitroing data from 2011–2019 to predict viability of the population 25 years into the future.

We assembled and conducted the analysis in R.
