Replication Data for: Industrial development alters wolf spatial distribution mediated by prey availability

To evaluate the effects of industrial features and human activity on the occurrence of wolves (Canis lupus), we deployed an array of 122 remote wildlife camera traps in Alberta's Rocky Mountains and foothills near Hinton, Canada in 2014.

Using generalized linear models, we compared the occurrence frequency of wolves at camera sites to natural land cover, industrial disturbance (forestry and oil/gas exploration), human activity (motorized and non-motorized), and prey availability (moose, Alces alces; elk, Cervus canadensis; mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus; and white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus). Industrial block features (well sites and cutblocks) and prey (elk and mule deer) availability interacted to influence wolf occurrences, but models including motorized and non-motorized human activity were not strongly supported.
