Title:Wildlife along the Salt River corridor of the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area: results of a camera-trapping project (2020-2021)
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:
The goal of this research project was to evaluate how wildlife populations responded to the gradient of urbanization, water, and vegetation. We deployed 43 wildlife cameras across the gradient of urbanization January 2021 to January 2022. We documented a suite of wildlife species, from small mammals and birds to large mammals. Data present whether a species was detected at a site during this time period.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:
We deployed 43 remote wildlife (RW) cameras at least 1 km apart across the gradient of urbanization. RW cameras were placed along the nearest wildlife travel route (e.g., game trail, drainage bottom, and other travel corridors). RW cameras were oriented perpendicular to the wildlife travel route and placed approximately 0.75 m above the ground and 4-5 m from the trail. Sites did not include scent or visual attractants. Upon being triggered, RW cameras were programmed to record a burst of 2 photos 1 second apart. RW cameras recorded color images during the daytime and infra-red (IR) black and white images at night. Species identification was conducted in a wildlife camera Access database.

Abstract:Phase IV of the Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER (CAP) continues to focus on the question: How do the ecosystem services provided by urban ecological infrastructure (UEI) affect human outcomes and behavior, and how do human actions affect patterns of urban ecosystem structure and function and, ultimately, urban sustainability and resilience? The overarching goal is to foster social-ecological urban research aimed at understanding these complex systems using a holistic, ecology of cities perspective while contributing to an ecology for cities that enhances urban sustainability and resilience. This goal is being met through four broad programmatic objectives: (1) use long-term observations and datasets to articulate and answer new questions requiring a long-term perspective; (2) develop and use predictive models and future-looking scenarios to help answer research questions; (3) employ existing urban ecological theory while articulating new theory; and (4) build transdisciplinary partnerships to foster resilience and enhance sustainability in urban ecosystems while educating urban dwellers of all ages and experiences. CAP IV research is organized around eight interdisciplinary questions and ten long-term datasets and experiments, and researchers are organized into eight Interdisciplinary Research Themes to pursue these long-term research questions.
