Data and supporting information from: Habitat heterogeneity and anthropogenic disturbance jointly affect species spatial associations and persistence

Interspecific spatial associations are a key component of mammalian community assembly, yet their persistence in heterogeneous, human-dominated landscapes remains poorly understood. This dataset was developed to investigate the mechanisms underlying these associations. It comprises two integrated components: 1) systematically collected occurrence records for ten sympatric large- and medium-sized mammal species from extensive camera-trap surveys, and 2) a suite of environmental covariates characterizing anthropogenic pressure and 3D habitat heterogeneity at each survey site. The dataset also includes complete model selection results and summarized model outputs as Supplemental information. Analyses using this dataset indicate that various forms of human disturbance cumulatively influence interspecific spatial associations, while three-dimensional habitat heterogeneity mediates these anthropogenic effects. This curated dataset provides a foundation for understanding the persistence mechanism of mammal communities, thereby strengthening our understanding of biodiversity conservation in a human-dominated landscape with 3D heterogeneity.
