Data from: Occupancy winners in tropical protected forests: a pantropical analysis

CAMERA-TRAP DATA: We used data from the Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network, a standardized tropical forest camera-trap monitoring system. The TEAM data comprises camera-trap data from protected areas located across three different biogeographic regions (Neotropical, Afrotropical and Indo-Malayan). In each area, camera-traps are deployed at 60-90 locations at a density of 1 camera per 1-2 km2. Each camera-trap is deployed for a minimum of 30 days during the dry season (i.e., months with <100 mm average rainfall or the driest part of the year in the absence of dry season), although cameras may be active for less than 30 days due to damage or failure. SPECIES COVARIATES: 1. Body mass, defined as average adult body mass, reflects the amount and quality of resources that a species requires to survive, as well as home range size, fecundity or susceptibility to predation. 2. Forest strata represents the foraging stratum: ground-dwelling and arboreal/scansorial species. Ground-dwelling species serve as the reference group and in the model is represented by the intercept. 3. Feeding guild reflects the type of dietary resources needed, but also potential interactions with other species (e.g., competition or predation). We defined carnivores as species feeding on ≥ 80% vertebrates, herbivores species feeding on ≥ 80% plant materials, insectivores species feeding on ≥ 80% insects, and omnivores the rest of species. Herbivores serve as the reference group and in the model and is represented by the intercept. 4. Habitat breadth represents the degree of ecological specialization and is measured as the number of IUCN habitat types occupied by a species. SPATIAL COVARIATES: 1. Division index represents forest fragmentation. 2. Human population reflects human disturbances.
