Abstract

Trait-filtered responses of mammal communities to land-use change in a Neotropical dry forestInstructions for Data Usage and ReproducibilityThis repository contains the analysis-ready data and R code to reproduce the results of the associated publication. Sensitive information (exact camera trap coordinates, raw images) has been withheld for conservation and privacy reasons but is archived at Senckenberg.The files are structured as follows:├── Data # Input data folder (excluding sensitive information)│ ├── PanTHERIA.txt # PanTHERIA (Jones et al) data providing traits│ ├── Remote Sensing # Remote Sensing data folder│ │ ├── 10S_070W.tif # GFW Reference Layer of true tree cover (%) (Hansen et al., 2013)│ │ ├── NDVI # Raw NDVI layers used to calculate annual means│ │ └── NDVI (Annual means) # Stacked Annual Means used to calculate forest metrics│ ├── camop_problem.csv # Camera activity file│ ├── camtraps_clean.csv # Camera meta data│ ├── forest_covariates.csv # Forest covariates at site/year level│ └── species_data.csv # Species detections (post-consensus)├── README.md├── forest_covariates.R # R script for remote sensing processing├── trait_filtering.Rproj # R project└── trait_filtering_analysis.R # Main R script for statistical analysisNotes Camera trap coordinates: Exact lat/lon withheld.Raw images: Not included; available from Senckenberg upon request and subject to conservation agreements.Reproducibility: All results in the manuscript can be reproduced using the data and scripts provided here.
