Ocurrence data base of the mountain carnivores in Northwestern Mexico, script and matrix for model the diversity and habitat use for each species

Database of the events of occurrence of the mountain carnivores in Northwestern Mexico during a camera trap survey on 2015-2017. This script was written to model the habitat use of the mountain carnivores in Northwestern Mexico for landscape covariates: forest cover, proportion of Abundance was estimated with camera-trap surveys and refers to the number of events (at least one picture per week) during the survey. We sampled habitat variables in five concentric circles (buffers of 25-, 75-, 150-, 450- and 600-m radius) around each camera trap. Landscape covariates were: a) Terrain ruggedness index using the Mexican digital elevation model (INEGI 2015) with a 15 m resolution per pixel. (b) Forest cover of the study site using 2013 land cover maps (Hansen et al. 2013). (c) Map of vegetation types; all pine forest is considered secondary vegetation because of disturbances caused by wildfires and forest management practices.
