Serval roadkill dataset

This dataset contains data and R code used in the following publication:<br>Williams, S.T., Collinson, W., Patterson-Abrolat, C., Marneweck, D.G, Swanepoel, L.H. (2019) Using road patrol data to identify factors associated with carnivore roadkill counts. PeerJ. DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6650. Available at https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.6650.<br>A preprint is also available at https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.27114.<br>The main dataset contains records of serval (Leptailurus serval) roadkill on the N3 in South Africa from 01/01/2014-31/12/2017. Data were collected by N3TC, in partnership with the Endangered Wildlife Trust.<br>Associated datasets were used to create predictor variables.<br>The R code was used to generate and manipulate the data, and to fit generalised linear mixed effects models with a negative binomial distribution to identify variables that were associated with serval roadkill counts.<br>For further details see the research paper, or contact the authors at [e-mail] or [e-mail].

本数据集包含下述已发表论文中所使用的数据与R代码：
Williams, S.T.、Collinson, W.、Patterson-Abrolat, C.、Marneweck, D.G、Swanepoel, L.H.（2019）《利用道路巡逻数据识别与食肉动物道路致死数量相关的影响因素》，PeerJ，DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6650，可访问链接：https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.6650。
另有预印本可通过链接 https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.27114 获取。
主数据集涵盖2014年1月1日至2017年12月31日期间，南非N3公路上薮猫（Leptailurus serval）的道路致死记录，该数据由N3TC与濒危野生动物信托基金（Endangered Wildlife Trust）合作采集。
配套数据集用于构建预测变量。
本研究配套的R代码用于生成、处理数据，并拟合负二项分布广义线性混合效应模型，以筛选与薮猫道路致死数量相关的影响变量。
