Small mammal activity at camera stations (visits day-1) by distance (m) from recreational trails in Northfield, Minnesota, USA, 2014-2015. Panels show activity levels of A voles (Microtus spp.) B thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus), and C mice (Cricetidae and Dipodidae). A “visit” is defined as a motion-triggered set of 3 photos in which an animal appeared in at least one photo. Observations were made at 57 camera stations over 12 transects in 2014 and 26 camera stations over 5 transects in 2015. Each data point represents the average activity at a camera station across the total observation period (approximately 48 hours when observed in one year and approximately 96 hours when observed in both years).
