Linear mixed effect models to estimate individual body mass at key seasonal transition points, accounting for day-of-year effects and random variation among years, sites, and individuals. Provides standardized mass estimates for demographic modeling.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 8 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the paper that introduces this protocol — Causes and consequences of pre-hibernation body mass in golden-mantled ground squirrels (Callospermophilus lateralis) (2022). Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
