Wildlife in the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area: results of a camera-trapping project (2019-2020)

The goal of this research project was to evaluate how wildlife populations responded to the gradient of urbanization. We deployed 50 wildlife cameras across the gradient of urbanization from downtown Phoenix to nearby wildland areas from January 2019 to August 2020. We documented a suite of wildlife species, from small mammals and birds to large mammals. Data present whether a species was detected at a site during this time period.
