Summary
Remote camera stations were set up in Lava Beds National Monument and Modoc National Forest from January to May 2018 to document occurrence of mesocarnivores and other wildlife. Thirty-three cameras were set up at 12 primary sampling units (clusters of one to four cameras) throughout the park. Potentially suitable habitat occurred in small patches in Lava Beds National Monument with cameras were placed in groups of one, two or three. To allow for more primary sampling units of four cameras, some cameras were installed in neighboring portions of Modoc National Forest. Cameras located in Modoc National Forest are considered part of the Lava Beds National Monument survey for the purposes of this study. The dataset contains all species [...]
Summary
Remote camera stations were set up in Lava Beds National Monument and Modoc National Forest from January to May 2018 to document occurrence of mesocarnivores and other wildlife. Thirty-three cameras were set up at 12 primary sampling units (clusters of one to four cameras) throughout the park. Potentially suitable habitat occurred in small patches in Lava Beds National Monument with cameras were placed in groups of one, two or three. To allow for more primary sampling units of four cameras, some cameras were installed in neighboring portions of Modoc National Forest. Cameras located in Modoc National Forest are considered part of the Lava Beds National Monument survey for the purposes of this study. The dataset contains all species observed within the study time-frame, the date and time of observation and the number of individuals detected as well as identification for individual locations, cameras and images. None of the three target species of conservation concern ((Pacific fisher (Pekania pennanti), Pacific marten (Martes caurina), Sierra Nevada red fox (Vulpes vulpes nector)) were seen, though Gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) were detected.

Purpose
The goal of this project is to systematically document the distribution of three mesocarnivore species of conservation concern (Pacific fisher, Pacific marten, and Sierra Nevada red fox) in potentially suitable habitats within Lava Beds National Monument and neighboring portions of Modoc National Forest. The data provides a baseline inventory of carnivore species in the park and can be used to assess whether any of the three mesocarnivore species occur in priority areas for management activity. The probability of occurrence of a species with sufficient sample size can be determined using this dataset.
