Abstract

This dataset contains GPS telemetry data of two female maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) in Southeastern Brazil. One female was clinically diagnosed with mange infestation (symptomatic), and the other was healthy. The dataset was compiled to investigate how female maned wolf movement patterns are influenced by their health status. This is the first study to describe how the largest canid in South America responds to sarcoptic mange infestation. This dataset and the associated code allow researchers to reproduce the analyses conducted by Meiga et al., including home range, home range overlap, distance moved, habitat selection, and time spent in different habitats according to health status.
