Data and supporting information from: Habitat heterogeneity and anthropogenic disturbance jointly affect species spatial associations and persistence

Interspecific spatial associations are a key component of mammalian
community assembly, yet their persistence in heterogeneous,
human-dominated landscapes remains poorly understood. This
dataset was developed to investigate the mechanisms underlying these
associations. It comprises two integrated components: 1) systematically
collected occurrence records for ten sympatric large- and medium-sized
mammal species from extensive camera-trap surveys, and 2) a suite of
environmental covariates characterizing anthropogenic pressure and 3D
habitat heterogeneity at each survey site. The dataset
also includes complete model selection results and summarized model
outputs as Supplemental information. Analyses using this dataset
indicate that various forms of human disturbance cumulatively influence
interspecific spatial associations, while three-dimensional habitat
heterogeneity mediates these anthropogenic effects. This curated
dataset provides a foundation for understanding the persistence
mechanism of mammal communities, thereby strengthening our
understanding of biodiversity conservation in a
human-dominated landscape with 3D heterogeneity.
