NEON Small Mammal Data for Abundance-Occupancy Relationship Analysis

A repository containing code and data to reproduce ecological analyses on abundance-occupancy relationships. The data includes small-mammal records from the NEON observatory and associated occurrence data from GBIF. The repository was created by author Cléber Ten Caten to accompany a specific research paper.

Use Cases

• Reproducing ecological analyses on abundance-occupancy relationships based on the described NEON and GBIF data.
• Studying small-mammal species distribution patterns based on the provided occurrence data.
• Analyzing the effects of occupancy estimation methods based on the code and data provided for the original paper.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a specific, peer-reviewed research paper for reproducibility.
• Pre-processed data files are provided to avoid lengthy downloads from the NEON and GBIF databases.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
