DRAFT-DRAFT-DRAFT- Review Copy Only


This part of the Home Page allows you to access a summary list of trends for either a species or a region.

Simply select the sort of summary you want (by species or region), then select the region (or species) of interest.


This program provides a comparison of 3 data sets, a "new" 66-97 analysis, a 66-97 analysis with all routes started after 1992 eliminated, and a 66-96 analysis for comparison.

Known problems with the data: 17 October 1998:
1. Some Canadian routes contain errors, hence Canadian data should not be used.
2. New data base has not yet been critically reviewed. Errors may exist in 1997 data due to new data transcription methods.
3. Taxonomic changes have been implemented in data base, but not yet reviewed.
4. Data quality codes were revised in data base, but were not implemented in these analysis except for 1997 data.
