Patterns of island fox habitat use in sand dune habitat on San Clemente Island

# Patterns of island fox habitat use in sand dune habitat on San Clemente Island [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.t1g1jwt9w](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.t1g1jwt9w) We have submitted our raw data and R scripts associated with all home range and resource selection function analyses. The "DunesHRAnalysis" R file includes code for estimating Minimum Convex Polygons and Kernel Density Estimates for the 12 island foxes monitored in this study. It requires the csv file "GPSPoints_ALL_csv," which includes all GPS data points for the foxes monitored. The "RSFAnalysis" R file includes code for estimating the resource selection functions reported. It requires the csv files "all_used" and "all_rand_kde," which includes the vegetation data associated with each used and randomly generated GPS point. ## Description of the data and file structure ###### **all\_used** * FoxID: unique identifier for each fox * East_X: easting for each used data point (Projected Coordinate System: NAD 1983) * North_Y: northing for each used data point (Projected Coordinate System: NAD 1983) * Alliance: alliance of associated vegetation * Group: group of associated vegetation * Macrogroup: macrogroup of associated vegetation ###### **all\_rand\_kde** * FoxID: unique identifier for each fox * Alliance: alliance of associated vegetation * Group: group of associated vegetation * Macrogroup: macrogroup of associated vegetation ###### **GPSPoints\_ALL\_csv** * Collar: unique identifier for each fox * East_X: easting for each used data point (Projected Coordinate System: NAD 1983) * North_Y: northing for each used data point (Projected Coordinate System: NAD 1983) ## Sharing/Access information Vegetation data was derived from the following sources: * [ArcGIS - SCI Vegetation Map](https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=4344322f66884267adc7d959a743e40e&extent=-118.7419,32.7945,-118.2368,33.0441) * [ArcGIS - San Clemente Island iNaturalist assessment map](https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=5737c67a68fe4394ba8c8744f21ec232&extent=-118.8019,32.712,-118.1238,33.0635) ## Code/Software R is required to run both scripts provided. Annotations are provided throughout the scripts through 1) library loading, 2) dataset loading and cleaning, and 3) analyses.
