Small mustelid detection data

Geo-coded detections of small mustelids (Mustela erminea, Mustela nivalis, Mustela putorius, Neovison vison) during the summers of 2015 and 2016 using three detection methods: ink tracking tunnels, trail cameras and mink rafts. These are the raw data referred to in submitted manuscript 'Detection probability of small Mustelid predators in ink-tracking tunnels'. The data relate to a study of breeding success of wading birds in a river meadow habitat in southern England, following habitat improvement measures, and given the activity of predators including these small mustelid species. The parent project, entitled Waders for Real was funded by the EU LIFE+ scheme (LIFE13_BIO/UK/000315; https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/life/publicWebsite/project/details/3974).

本数据集收录了2015年与2016年夏季，采用墨水跟踪隧道（ink tracking tunnels）、步道相机（trail cameras）与水貂筏（mink rafts）三种检测方法，获取的小型鼬科动物（small mustelids，含伶鼬Mustela nivalis、白鼬Mustela erminea、林鼬Mustela putorius以及美洲水貂Neovison vison）的地理编码检测记录。本数据集为已投稿论文《墨水跟踪隧道内小型鼬科捕食者的检测概率》中所引用的原始数据。该研究围绕英格兰南部河流草甸生境中的涉禽繁殖成功率展开，针对生境改良措施实施后的生境状况开展调查，同时监测了包括上述小型鼬科物种在内的各类捕食者的活动情况。本研究的母体项目名称为“真实涉禽（Waders for Real）”，由欧盟LIFE+计划资助（项目编号：LIFE13_BIO/UK/000315；项目详情链接：https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/life/publicWebsite/project/details/3974）。
