description: COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 reduced human mobility, providing an opportunity to disentangle its effects on animals from those of landscape modifications. Using GPS data, we compared movements and road avoidance of 2300 terrestrial mammals (43 species) during the lockdowns to the same period in 2019. Individual responses were variable, with no change in average movements or road avoidance behavior, likely due to variable lockdown conditions. However, under strict lockdowns, 10-day 95th percentile displacements increased by 73%, suggesting increased landscape permeability. Animals' 1-hour 95th percentile displacements declined by 12%, and animals were 36% closer to roads in areas of high human footprint, indicating reduced avoidance during lockdowns. Overall, lockdowns rapidly altered some spatial behaviors, highlighting variable but substantial impacts of human mobility on wildlife worldwide.
description: The two analysis files are in .xls format, the 1-hour displacement, 10-day displacement and distance to road data are in R Data (.rds) format, and the code is in R format. <strong>Important Note</strong> Please be mindful and respectful of the amount of time, effort, and funds invested in collecting these data. Please read the following recommendations on involving data contributors before using the data. - These data come from an international collaborative effort with a diverse range of contributors and studies. Each contributed study has their own ecological context and important idiosyncrasies. - We strongly encourage a collaborative approach when using these data. We encourage you to reach out to the contact person of each study you plan to use data from. In addition to reaching out, we consider it good practice to offer involvement and co-authorship when possible. For each study, the contact person is listed on Dryad (https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.c59zw3rbd) and Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6915169) and in the Supporting Materials associated with the manuscript. - Please also note that the data should be used for research, conservation or education purposes. Do not use the data in any way that could jeopardize conservation or animal welfare.Funding provided by: National Science Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100000001<br>Award Number: IOS-1656642Funding provided by: National Science Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100000001<br>Award Number: IIBR 1915347Funding provided by: National Science Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100000001<br>Award Number: 1556248Funding provided by: National Science Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100000001<br>Award Number: 2038704Funding provided by: Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100000936<br>Award Number: GBMF9881Funding provided by: United States - Israel Binational Science Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100006221<br>Award Number: 2019822Funding provided by: United States - Israel Binational Science Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100006221<br>Award Number: IOS2015662Funding provided by: H2020 European Research Council<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100010663<br>Award Number: 641918Funding provided by: Agence Nationale de la Recherche<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001665<br>Award Number: ANR-16-CE02-0010Funding provided by: Swiss National Science Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001711<br>Award Number: 31003A_182286Funding provided by: Swiss National Science Foundation<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001711<br>Award Number: 310030_204478Funding provided by: Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100002347<br>Award Number: 01LC1710AFunding provided by: Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100002347<br>Award Number: 01LC1820AFunding provided by: National Geographic Society<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100006363<br>Award Number: NGS-82515R-20Funding provided by: Slovenian Research Agency<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100004329<br>Award Number: P4-0059Funding provided by: Agence Nationale de la Recherche<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001665<br>Award Number: ANR-16-CE02-0001-01Funding provided by: Interreg<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100013276<br>Award Number: SLO-HR410Funding provided by: Bernd Thies-Stiftung<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100018669<br>Award Number: Funding provided by: Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100018694<br>Award Number: 798091Funding provided by: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001659<br>Award Number: EXC 2117 – 422037984.Funding provided by: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft<br>Crossref Funder Registry ID: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001659<br>Award Number: HE 8857/1-1Funding provided by: Aage V.
