The data consists of mammal detection data collected from 60 camera trap stations on the east side of the Athabasca River, southwest of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. Between November 2015 - April 2018, we recorded detections for wolves ( Canis lupus ), black bears ( Ursus americanus ), coyotes ( Canis latrans ), Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), snowshoe hare ( Lepus americanus ), red squirrels ( Tamiasciurus hudsonicus ), moose ( Alces alces ), white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ), and woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus ). We formatted these data as species detections at each station, as well as species occurrences at the weekly and daily temporal scale. We also used snow presence data from the camera traps, habitat data from the Alberta Vegetation (Alberta Vegetation Interpretation Standards, 2005), and anthropogenic feature data from Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (abmi.ca). Tattersall et al. (2020) used these data to test hypotheses of species interactions while accounting for effects of snow, habitat, and anthropogenic disturbance.
