Live capture and handling of Taiwanese leopard cats_Data

This data set forms the basis of a scientific open access publication in Wildlife Biology: van der Meer E, Dullemont H, Chen WL, Chang AM, Chen CC, Pei KJC, Lai YC (2022) Live capture and handling of Taiwanese leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis): an evaluation of trap designs and capture protocol. Wildlife Biology. It contains data on trap characteristics, leopard cat visits, domestic dog visits and bycatch for various trap designs used for the live trapping of leopard cats in Taiwan. It also includes data on leopard cat movement in the first six days after trapping and handling, based on triangulation of the signal from the VHF collars of the study animals.

本数据集为发表于《野生动物生物学（Wildlife Biology）》的科学开放获取论文提供核心数据支撑：van der Meer E、Dullemont H、Chen WL、Chang AM、Chen CC、Pei KJC、Lai YC 于2022年发表的《台湾豹猫（Prionailurus bengalensis）的活体捕捉与处理：诱捕装置设计与捕获规程评估》。数据集涵盖用于台湾地区豹猫活体诱捕的多款诱捕装置的特征参数、豹猫造访频次、家犬造访频次以及兼捕物种数据。此外，本数据集还纳入了基于研究个体甚高频（VHF）项圈信号三角定位得到的、豹猫在被捕获与处理后前六天的活动数据。
