DATA & FILE OVERVIEW This dataset contains: 1. Covariates for 162 species: Body mass (average adult body mass), forest strata (ground-dwelling and arboreal/scansorial species), feeding guild (carnivores are species feeding on ≥ 80% vertebrates, herbivores species feeding on ≥ 80% plant materials, insectivores species feeding on ≥ 80% insects, and omnivores the rest of species) and habitat breadth (number of IUCN habitat types occupied by a species). 2. Spatial covariates: We calculated three landscape-scale covariates in a 10-km buffer around the camera-trap arrays (division index, human population and percentage of forest). 3. A list of all species incuded in this study and additional camera-trap information from the Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network (needed to run the R-script). 4. R-script to subset and organize the data for the modelling.
