Mammal Abundance And Behavior In Response To

Mammal Abundance and Behavior in Response to Hunting

Comparative Study of Germany and United States

About this dataset

This dataset provides an insightful look into the various impacts that hunting has on mammal species in two different landscapes - southern Germany and the southeastern United States. Through camera trap data collected from both yards and forests, researchers have gained valuable information on abundance and behaviors as they relate to varying intensities of hunting in each country. Our dataset includes details such as deployment location, habitats, species family name, individual counts per species, county of origin, latitude/longitude coordinates, habitat type and hunter status. With this information we can clearly see how humans affect animal populations by hunting them for sport or sustenance. This resource provides a comprehensive study of mammalian abundance dynamics under differing intensities of hunting across two regions for further exploration into the relationship between human interference and wildlife populations

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains valuable information on the abundance and behaviors of mammal species in response to different hunting intensities. It allows us to analyze how mammalian populations respond to hunting within two different landscapes – southern Germany and the southeastern United States. This knowledge can be used to assess the impacts of management strategies related to conservation, population control, and economic activity.

To use this dataset, you will need an understanding of the various columns in order to interpret its data accordingly. The following is a brief overview of each column:

Deployment Name: A unique identifier for each deployment.

Project: Name of the project associated with this data set.

Begin Time & End Time: Start & end time for the deployment respectively (not included).

Species Name & Common Name: The scientific/common name for each species.

Count: Number of individuals observed during that deployment period.

Country: Country where this data was collected from (Germany or US).

Latitude & Longitude : Coordinates providing additional location info (not included). - YardYN : Whether it was a yard or not (True/False). - Habitat : Firmly identified environment type where this data was collected from (e.g., forests, farms etc.). - Hunt : Hunting status associated with that area / period (Not Hunted / Hunted) . Once you have familiarized yourself with these columns, you can start exploring any patterns between them utilizing statistical methods such as correlation analysis or multivariate regression models; draw research conclusions; compile reports on interactions between human activities such as hunting and wildlife populations . Enjoy!

Research Ideas

Comparison of mammal diversity and abundance between different habitats in different countries.

Examining the effects of hunting intensity on mammal species composition and behaviors in various areas.

Investigating how human activities may impact mammal population dynamics over time and create changes in their distribution patterns and seasonal movements
