Mesocarnivore Survey of Lava Beds National Monument, Klamath Network, 2018 (ver. 2.0, April 2022)

Remote camera stations were set up in Lava Beds National Monument and Modoc National Forest from January to May 2018 to document occurrence of mesocarnivores and other wildlife. Thirty-three cameras were set up at 12 primary sampling units (clusters of one to four cameras) throughout the park. Potentially suitable habitat occurred in small patches in Lava Beds National Monument with cameras were placed in groups of one, two or three. To allow for more primary sampling units of four cameras, some cameras were installed in neighboring portions of Modoc National Forest. Cameras located in Modoc National Forest are considered part of the Lava Beds National Monument survey for the purposes of this study. The dataset contains all species observed within the study time-frame, the date and time of observation and the number of individuals detected as well as identification for individual locations, cameras and images. None of the three target species of conservation concern ((Pacific fisher (Pekania pennanti), Pacific marten (Martes caurina), Sierra Nevada red fox (Vulpes vulpes nector)) were seen, though Gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) were detected.

2018年1月至5月，研究团队在熔岩床国家纪念区（Lava Beds National Monument）与莫多克国家森林（Modoc National Forest）架设远程摄像监测站，以记录中型食肉动物（mesocarnivores）及其他野生动物的出现情况。
本次研究共布设33台相机，分布于覆盖熔岩床国家纪念区全域的12个主要抽样单元（primary sampling unit，每个单元由1至4台相机组成的集群）中。熔岩床国家纪念区内的潜在适宜栖息地呈小片分布，研究团队在此类区域以1台、2台或3台相机为一组布设监测设备。为增设可容纳4台相机的主要抽样单元，部分相机被架设至莫多克国家森林的邻近区域。出于本研究的目的，架设于莫多克国家森林内的相机均被纳入熔岩床国家纪念区的调查范畴。
本数据集涵盖研究周期内观测到的所有物种、观测日期与时间、检测到的个体数量，以及各监测点位、相机和影像的唯一标识信息。本次研究关注的三种保育目标物种（太平洋渔貂（Pekania pennanti）、太平洋貂（Martes caurina）、内华达山脉红狐（Vulpes vulpes nector））均未被观测到，但研究人员检测到了灰狐（Urocyon cinereoargenteus）。
