Wildlife inventory in the Azores using camera trapping

The present publication provides a data set from five camera-trapping sampling campaigns on two islands of the Azorean archipelago (Pico and Terceira islands). Between 2013 and 2018, two sampling campaigns were conducted on Terceira island ("TER_13-15" survey) and on Terceira and Pico islands ("TER-PIC_18" survey) aimed to study the ecology of introduced mammals. A third sampling campaign was performed between 2015 and 2017 sampling was performed in vineyards on Terceira island in order to evaluate grape consumption by vertebrates species ("Vineyards_15-17" survey). Additionally, between 2016 and 2018, two sampling campaigns were performed in Terceira island, in order to assess the impact of introduced mammals on native birds, on Cory's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea borealis; "Calonectris_16" survey) and the Azores woodpigeon (Columba palumba azorica; "Columba_17-18" survey), through nest predation monitoring. A total of 258 sites and 47 nests were sampled using camera traps. These sampling campaigns provided a large data series that allowed create a vertebrate wildlife inventory of Azores

本数据集源自亚速尔群岛（Azorean Archipelago）两座岛屿——皮克岛（Pico）与特塞拉岛（Terceira）上开展的5次红外相机陷阱（camera-trapping）采样调查。2013至2018年间，先后开展两项调查：针对特塞拉岛的"TER_13-15"调查，以及针对特塞拉岛与皮克岛的联合调查"TER-PIC_18"调查，二者均旨在探究外来入侵哺乳动物的生态特征。第三次调查于2015至2017年间在特塞拉岛的葡萄园实施，目标为评估脊椎动物对葡萄的取食情况，对应"Vineyards_15-17"调查。此外，2016至2018年间在特塞拉岛开展了两项专项调查，通过巢捕食监测，分别评估外来入侵哺乳动物对两种本土鸟类的影响：其一为科里猛鹱（Cory's Shearwater，学名Calonectris diomedea borealis，对应"Calonectris_16"调查）；其二为亚速尔林鸽（Azores woodpigeon，学名Columba palumba azorica，对应"Columba_17-18"调查）。本次研究累计利用红外相机陷阱完成了258个采样位点与47个鸟巢的监测采样。上述系列调查所获的大规模数据序列，可用于构建亚速尔群岛脊椎动物野生动物名录。
