Data from: Hyperbolic discounting underpins response curves of mammalian avoidance behaviour

Over fifty camera traps (Cuddeback Expert 3300 or HCO Scoutguard SG-565F) were placed in a complex of urban-adjacent parks with restricted public access in central and coastal Orange County, California [Patten & Burger 2018,Patten et al. 2019]. Cameras were placed inconspicuously (to minimize either spooking animals or drawing unwanted human attention) along trails (62%), at watering troughs (12%), or in vegetation away from either putative ‘concentration point’ (26%). Herein we analyse same-day data collected by 50 cameras June 2007–June 2016. We defined a ‘day’ as human activity < 24 h prior to mammal detection [Patten et al. 2019].
