"YHT_scat_locs_contents.csv"
- dataset was filtered to exclude 'very old' scats deemed to have been deposited outside study period (May-Sept)
- some records only have year, not date. All scats were collected between July 1 and September 30 in order to collect scats deposited by animals between May-Sept
- dataset was filtered to exclude scats that had a 'low confidence' associated with species ID


"Contents.Analyzed" - scats were analyzed (either through DNA or macroscopic analysis) to determine whether elk was present (1), or scats were not analyzed (0) and used in the predator RSFs or as a random point in the analysis to quantify the relative probability of elk occurrence in a predator-specific scat at a specific location (Pelkij)
"Elk.Presence.DNA" - scats analyzed via DNA analysis where elk was detected (1), not detected (0), or not analyzed through DNA analysis (NA)
"Elk.Presence.MH" - scats analyzed via macroscopic analysis where elk was detected (1), not detected (0), or not analyzed through macroscopic analysis (NA)
