Camera trap dataset from Agonve Community Wetland Reserve (ACBR)

A curated camera trap dataset from the Agonve Community Wetland Reserve in West Africa, adapted from Gandaho et al. (2026). The dataset contains wildlife camera trap observations and associated deployment metadata.

Format

A named list with two tibbles:

acbr_data: Camera trap observations.
deployment: Deployment metadata.

Details

The object is provided as a named list with two elements:

acbr_data

A tibble containing camera trap observations.

Variables include:

image: Image file name.
deployment: Deployment identifier.
cam: Camera station identifier.
model: Camera model (RD1003L or TC302445).
dates: Observation date.
times: Observation time.
species: Recorded species name.
count: Number of individuals detected.
datetime: Combined date-time in POSIX format.

deployment

A tibble containing deployment-level metadata.

Variables include:

deployment: Deployment identifier.
cam: Camera station identifier.
model: Camera model.
start: Deployment start date-time.
end: Deployment end date-time.
radius: Camera detection radius (meters).
angle: Camera detection angle (degrees).
area: Estimated detection area (square meters).

The deployment table was reconstructed from the observation data using the first and last timestamps recorded for each deployment.
