Data associated with each elk location used in the study.indYr: elk-year identifierID: unique trajectory used to impute locations and infer behavior statesstep: step length (m)angle: turning angle (rad)imputed: 0 = recorded collar location, 1 = imputed missing locationdatetimeMST: local date and time of collar location (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss)viterbi: underlying behavior state inferred from Hidden Markov Models (1 = resting, 2 = foraging, 3 = traveling)iter: model iteration from which behavior estimate was drawn (35 iterations per individual)hour: hour of daysnowDepth: depth of snow at location, estimated using SnowModel (cm)distEdge: distance to nearest forest edge (m); positive values in forest, negative values outside forestonFeed: whether the location occurred on an elk feedgroundencYN: whether a wolf encounter occurred at the locationencPrev: whether a wolf encounter occurred at the immediately previous locationencFirstPrev: whether the immediately previous location occurred at the start of a wolf encounterencDurHr: duration of current wolf encounter (hours)encRisk: distance to wolf encountered at the immediately previous location (categorical; 3 = < 250m, 2 = 250-500m, 3 = > 500 m, 0 = no encounter)spatRisk: spatial risk associated with location, relative index based on wolf kill site selection modelinSubset: whether location was included in dataset used to model analyzing the relationship between elk behavior type, environmental characteristics, and wolf predation risk. (Model used a subset of the full dataset to meet assumptions of independence.)
