McShea, Fangyuan Hua, Tianpei Guan, Dajun Wang, Xiaoli Shen, Sheng LiNocturnality of 29 mammal detections from 1897 camera traps within the Camera-trapping Network for the Mountains of Southwest China and corresponding environmental variables.
Species: common name for detected species
PA_ID: ID of the protected areas where the species is detected
Date: date of the detection
Time: clock time of the detection
sunTime: relative solar time of the detection
Nocturnality: nocturnality index of the detection
HM: human modification index at the camera location
PA: whether the camera is located inside (PA = 1) or outside (PA = 0) PAs
PA_HM: interaction term between PA and HM
JulianDate & JulianDate2: count of consecutive days since the start of each year and its quadratic term
LST: land surface temperature
