dc.description.abstractThis dataset was generated by a study investigating how anthropogenic risk influences water source use by African savanna elephants. The dataset was generated from independent detection events of elephants from camera traps deployed at water sources in the Ruaha-Rungwa ecosystem of Tanzania during 2019-2020. Water sources varied in their risk to elephants (column ‘Risk’). Low-risk water sources (coded as Low) were located in the core area of Ruaha National Park. High-risk water sources (coded as Highpark) were located in high-risk areas within Ruaha National Park. High-risk village water sources (coded as Highvillage) were located on village land. I summed the number of independent elephant detection events (column ‘Count’) per camera trap station (column ‘Station’) by risk (Low, Highpark or Highvillage), sex (male or female), season (wet or dry), and diel period (day or night). The number of camera trap sampling hours per diel period for each camera trap station are included in the column ‘Hours’.en_GB
