Wolf and Prey Activity Patterns in an Italian Stronghold with Human Footprint Data

Files associated with a manuscript investigating the influence of human disturbance on wolves and their prey. The dataset includes materials for analyzing diel activity patterns, temporal overlap, and species occupancy in relation to environmental and anthropogenic variables. It is provided by Francesca Brivio and colleagues under a CC-BY-4.0 license to ensure reproducibility of the published analyses.

Use Cases

• Modeling species occupancy patterns based on environmental and anthropogenic variables mentioned in the description
• Analyzing temporal overlap and activity patterns among species across different Human Footprint classes
• Reproducing statistical analyses and figures from the associated scientific manuscript

Strengths

• Data is provided under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• Files are specifically curated to ensure reproducibility of the published manuscript's analyses.

Limitations

• The dataset is small (444.2 KB), indicating limited scope or a subset of processed data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
