Stratified activity example data

Data used to generate example analysis results in Rowcliffe, M., Dijkhuis, L. & Jansen, P. Uncovering temporal patterns of wildlife activity, habitat use and habitat preference from camera-trap data. Methods in Ecology and Evolution. Accepted Jan 2026.

Three linked comma-delimited files holding camera-trap data from De Hoge Veluwe National Park, used by code in HogeVeluwe_analysis.R (https://zenodo.org/records/18991372):

• observations.csv: animal observations, with fields:
  • deploymentID: deployment ID unique to each location
  • stratumID: stratum ID matched with this field in strata table
  • scientificName: latin binomial species name
  • time: radian time of day of observation
• strata.csv: stratum data, with fields:
  • stratumID: stratum ID (combination of habitat and type)
  • habitat: habitat type
  • type: whether visitor access or refuge
  • species: species to which the area applies
  • area: stratum area in square km
  • effort: camera effort in days
• species_names.csv: names of all species present in the observations table, with fields:
  • spp: latin binomial name
  • spp_common: implified common English name

In the strata table, areas differ slightly between species because small parts of the study site were accessible to some species but not others. These files will become publicly available after embargo in 2027. They represent a subset of a larger, actively growing data set held in www.agouti.eu.
