The reports hub

Open Reports from the header. The hub gathers built-in reports that summarize across all of your survey types, plus the custom report builder.

For a one-line index of every report with a link to the method behind it, see the report reference.

Across every survey type:

  • Survey effort summary: how much you have collected, broken down by survey type, with the first and last dates for each.
  • Records over time: how your collection volume moves month to month, so you can see seasons and gaps.
  • Species observed: every species recorded, ranked by how often it was seen.
  • Species diversity: richness and evenness of your community (Shannon, inverse Simpson, and Pielou), plus Hill numbers (all three on one “effective number of species” scale), a Chao1 estimate of how many species are present including ones not yet detected, and a rarefaction curve showing how species accumulate with sampling effort (a curve that flattens means your inventory is nearly complete).

By location (records bound to a site or a waterbody):

  • Species by station: which species were observed at each sampling station (the site a record is bound to).
  • Species by water code: species observations rolled up by waterbody and its agency water code.
  • Sampling history by station: how often each station was sampled, over what span, and how many species were found there.
  • Trends at a water: records and species per waterbody, year over year.

For fisheries data (any survey with species and length, plus weight or age where present):

  • Length frequency: the size distribution of each species you have measured.
  • Relative weight (condition): body condition from relative weight, with a length-weight curve where no published standard exists.
  • Size structure (PSD): how many stock-length fish reach quality, preferred, memorable, and trophy lengths.
  • Age, growth, and mortality: mean length at age, a von Bertalanffy growth curve, and catch-curve mortality, for species you have aged.
  • Recruitment: year-class strength and recruitment variability from catch-curve residuals, with a young-of-year (YOY, age-0) index, and a young-of-year CPUE where effort is recorded.
  • Catch per unit effort (CPUE): a relative-abundance index by species, catch divided by the effort that produced it.
  • Stock and recruitment: Ricker and Beverton-Holt spawner-recruit curves from a stock’s spawner and recruit time series.
  • Fish biotic integrity (IBI): a Karr-style screen of stream fish community health from trophic, tolerance, and condition metrics, scored per reach.

For wildlife data:

  • Herd composition: sex and recruitment ratios (males and juveniles per 100 females) from ungulate classification surveys.
  • Harvest summary: hunter effort and success (success rate, animals per hunter-day) and harvest by species, unit, and method.
  • Sex and age composition: sex ratio and age-class structure from individual harvest-check and mortality records.
  • Mortality by cause: cause-of-death and carcass-condition distributions from found-dead surveys.
  • Occupancy (detection-corrected): the share of sites a species occupies, corrected for visits that missed it, from repeat-visit surveys.
  • Abundance (detection-corrected): mean and total abundance from repeated counts, corrected for the animals each visit missed.
  • Occupancy dynamics (multi-season): how site occupancy changes across seasons, through colonization and local extinction.
  • Nest success (Mayfield): daily and period nest survival from nest-day exposure and fate.
  • Known-fate survival: Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival of tracked animals from interval at-risk and death counts.

For aquatic nuisance species (from your lab samples):

  • ANS by waterbody: samples, species, and individuals rolled up by waterbody, with detections per species.
  • Watercraft inspection specimens: specimens from watercraft inspections, by inspection station and by vessel origin.
  • Partner samples: samples submitted by partner organizations, by submitting organization and waterbody.
  • ANS by species: every species found across your lab samples, how many were counted, and where.

A fisheries or wildlife report appears once your data supports it; see Fisheries metrics and Wildlife metrics for the methods behind them.

A report shows headline stats, tables, and bar charts, drawn from your data.

Above each report are buttons to take it with you:

  • Export CSV for the tables.
  • Export Excel for a workbook, one sheet per table.
  • Export PDF for a branded, paginated document.
  • Save as report to keep this report for reuse (see Saved reports).

There is also a Print / Save as PDF option that opens your browser’s print dialog with a clean, branded layout (your logo, your organization name, the date), so you can print to paper or save a PDF.
