The file Ònestdata_wheatears_2019-2022_ValPiora_CH.csvÓ includes the raw data of the nest-sites and pseudo-absence sites with the habitat predictors. 

The file Òdata_nest_survival.csvÓ includes the data on nest survival for each visit to the nests and the predictors used for modelling. 

The file Ònest_models.RÓ includes the code of the models for nest-site selection and for nest survival. 

The file Òmeteo_data_robiei_2019-2022_may-jun-jul.csvÓ summarizes the data from the nearby weather station used to describe inter-annual variations in weather conditions and spring onset.

The file Òcompare_Mayf_RMark_BBolkerÓ provides a comparison with RMark and Mayfield, two common methods to estimate nest survival and a justification of the method we used in this article.
