| Occurrence and distribution dataset of medium and large-sized terrestrial mammal communities in a neotropical savanna | |
| 2018 Full Book | |
There is a growing need for a baseline ecological information to comprehend the distribution of species around the environment. Surveys based on camera traps data have provided a great advance on the monitoring of terrestrial mammals and can be used for multiple conservation purposes. Here is presented a compilation of medium to large-sized terrestrial mammals records from camera trap surveys in a neotropical savanna, resulting in 122 studies that sampled 259 occurrence areas of 52 species, covering all of Cerrado's phytophysiognomies. The complete dataset comprises a total sampling effort of 96.789 days, capturing 8 orders, 17 families and 37 genera. All species occur in at least two singletons of the full sampled areas. The most frequent species records were from _Puma concolor, Cerdocyon thous, Leopardus pardalis _and _Chrysocyon brachyurus_. This dataset represents a massive effort to understand the dynamic and composition of the medium-to-large mammals' community in Cerrado, helping identifying macroecological patterns. |
