This dataset supports an analysis of how the presence of dependent neonates influences the spatial co-occurrence of northern cervids and omnivorous predators. The data was used in a published study (DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2025-0038) authored by Chris Johnson. It contains wildlife camera data related to species including Black Bear, Grizzly Bear, Deer, Elk, and Moose.
Use Cases
- Analyze spatial co-occurrence patterns between predator species (e.g., Black Bear, Grizzly Bear) and cervid species (e.g., Deer, Elk, Moose).
- Model the influence of dependent neonate presence on predator-cervid encounter rates using camera trap data.
- Investigate temporal or spatial overlap in habitat use between omnivorous predators and northern cervids.
Strengths
- Data is associated with a peer-reviewed publication (DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2025-0038).
- Includes observations of multiple ecologically significant species: Black Bear, Grizzly Bear, Deer, Elk, and Moose.
- Dataset was last updated in January 2026.
Limitations
- Specific data structure details such as row count, column names, and file formats are unknown.
- The geographic scope and temporal range of the camera observations are not specified.
- The absence of sample data and column definitions limits immediate analytical utility.
