Extended Data Table 1 Parameter estimates and sample sizes across analyses

From: Protected areas have a mixed impact on waterbirds, but management helps

  1. Shows focal parameter estimates, plus 20 estimates from full parameter samples. Parameters are a) the maximum number of years of data the sample can have, to either side of protected area (PA) designation; b) the minimum number of years that must be sampled, to either side of protected area designation; c) the closest distance an unprotected site can be to a protected area before it is excluded from analysis; d) the proportion of counts that must be zeroes for the time period to be classified as “All Zeroes”; e) the maximum distance between paired protected and unprotected sites; f) the standardised difference in means threshold for BACI and CI matching; g) the proportion of populations that must be matched successfully to retain a species, for BACI and CI matching. h), i), j) show the number of protected sites/species/populations in that analysis run (note that BA and CI will generally be a subset of these). See Supplementary Information 4 for a further taxonomic break down of species in the focal analysis.
