Multi-Species Mammal Occupancy - Waterton Lakes - Forest

Multi-Species Mammal Occupancy - Waterton Lakes - Forest Motion-detection cameras are a cost-effective and non-invasive tool used in Waterton Lakes National Park for sampling mammal populations and estimating species occurrence. Occupancy modelling, which uses detection/non-detection data from cameras, provides a useful and flexible framework for population trend analyses. Data are collected throughout the year across Waterton Lakes National Park to determine change in the distribution of key animal populations as well as supporting demographic predictions to better inform management. 2024-05-15 Parks Canada barb.johnston@pc.gc.ca Nature and Environmentmulti-species mammal occupancynative speciescougarlynxgrizzly bearsred foxwolfwolveswolverineremote camerasnow-track surveyoccupancy indexAlberta Multi-species mammal occupancy - Waterton Lakes - presence data - 1CSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/4361c613-2f4d-48b0-bf87-8d69a09b091a/resource/e4df2452-a881-49ac-8ef2-ba383dab8dd8/download/waterton_lakes_np_forest_multi-species_mammal_occupancy_2007-2017_data.csv Multi-species mammal occupancy - Waterton Lakes - presence data dictionary - 2CSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/4361c613-2f4d-48b0-bf87-8d69a09b091a/resource/d6c5d04c-d3d4-4fcf-9527-8341cdefd750/download/waterton_lakes_np_forest_multi-species_mammal_occupancy_2007-2017_data_dictionary.csv
