Population and community consequences of perceived risk from humans in wildlife

Human activities catalyze risk avoidance behaviors in wildlife across taxa and systems. However, the broader ecological significance of human-induced risk perception remains unclear, with a limited understanding of how phenotypic responses scale up to affect population or community dynamics. We conducted a comprehensive literature review of non-consumptive effects (NCE; population effects) and trait-mediated indirect effects (TMIE; community effects) of anthropogenic disturbances. This dataset includes all papers identified from the comprehensive review of the different types of human-induced behavioral and physiological phenotypic change and their influence on vital rates and population parameters in wildlife. All papers in this database tested for a human-induced NCE or TMIE in wildlife but not all found evidence for an effect. Many of the papers did not explicitly measure the presumed phenotypic change linking human activity to vital rates or population parameters. The authors, paper..., To evaluate the evidence linking perceived risk from humans and associated phenotypic responses to downstream ecological consequences, we comprehensively reviewed the literature on human-induced NCEs and TMIEs. Papers evaluated in our comprehensive review were identified from three sources: 1) two Web of Science searches; 2) papers citing Frid and Dill (2002; https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-00404-060111*), 3) relevant papers found within review papers identified from (1) and (2). The specifics of the Web of Science searches are provided below. 
We initially scanned all papers for three criteria in a progressive manner; to advance, each paper had to be empirical, examine an effect of anthropogenic disturbance, and reference a topic related to risk. Papers meeting all three criteria were further filtered to those that evaluated a human-induced risk effect and tested for an effect beyond a phenotypic response (i.e. a change in fitness, fecundity, survival, density, abundance, or population grow..., , # Data from: Population and community consequences of perceived risk from humans in wildlife

A dataset of papers was identified from a comprehensive review that tested for a human-induced non-consumptive effect (NCE) or trait-mediated indirect effect (TMIE) in wildlife.

## Description of the data and file structure

A list of papers is provided with information on the primary human inducer type, phenotype tested, induced taxa, evidence for an effect found, type of risk effect, population effect tested, and system.
