Abstract

Temporal data and trap success for raccoons (Procyon lotor) and coyotes (Canis latrans) across an urban-rural gradient in Michigan, from 2015 to 2020. These data are associated with the article "Temporal refuges of a subordinate carnivore vary across rural-urban gradient" in the journal Ecology and Evolution. 

Methods

This data was collected using repeated camera trap surveys across four sites in Michigan. The data was processed in the R package camtrapR, and a 30 minute quiet period was introduced between subsequent triggers of the same species. 

Usage notes

None (we used R to process the temporal data, and ArcGIS pro to general kernel densities from the trap success data).
