Data from: Rhode Island wildlife camera trap survey 2018 to 2023

Camera trap detections from a statewide survey of Rhode Island wildlife conducted between 2018 and 2023. 

This dataset contains two .CSV files. "RI_CameraSurvey_Deployments.csv" contains the camera operation dates (start and end dates), and coordinates for all cameras during each survey season. "RI_CameraSurvey_Detections.csv" contains all independent detections of animals at a camera location (Site and camera identifiers, species identification, data and time of detection). The station and camera identifications are consistent between the deployment table and the detection table. 

Version 2 includes additional fields in "RI_CameraSurvey_Detections.csv" to specify taxonomic Order, Class, and Family.

Version 3 "RI_CameraSurvey_Detections.csv" contains all detections of animals (i.e. a row of data for each image captured) at a camera location. Both files include identifiers for the primary survey location and the specific camera location. An additional field for YearSeason is included in both files.
