Using a recently developed camera trapping method to improve monitoring efforts for African small carnivore species

This dataset includes daily detection histories (presence = 1, absence = 0) for a) all small carnivores combined, b) genet, c) mongoose species for Mostela and camera trap data. Also included is baiting effort where bait was either present or absent. Detaield descriptions of the sampling design (Mostela construction and survey deployments), data processing and analytical steps are presented in Davis et al. (2025).
