Data for: Hunting mode and habitat selection mediate the success of human hunters
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>As a globally widespread apex predator, humans have unprecedented lethal and non-lethal effects on prey populations and ecosystems<span>. </span>Yet compared to non-human predators<span>, little is known about the </span>drivers and consequences of<span> </span>human<span> hunt</span>ing behavior<span>.<strong> </strong>Here, we characterized the hunting modes, habi</span>tat selection,<span> and harvest success of 483 rifle hunters in California</span> using<span> high-resolu</span>tion <span>GPS </span>data<span>. We used Hidden Markov Models to characterize fine-scale behavior, and k-means clustering to group hunters by hunting mode, on the basis of their time spent in each behavioral state. Hunters exhibited three distinct and successful hunting modes ("coursing", "stalking", and "sit-and-wait"), with stalking as the most successful strategy. Across hunting modes, there was variation in patterns of selection for roads, topography, and habitat cover, with </span>important<span> differences in habitat use of successful and unsuccessful hunters across modes. Our study indicates that hunters can successfully employ a diversity of harvest strategies, and </span>that<span> hunting success </span>is <span>mediated by the </span>interacting effects of<span> hunting mod</span>e and <span>landscape features. Such results high</span>light the breadth of human hunting modes, even within a single hunting technique, and lend insight into the varied ways that humans exert predation pressure on wildlife.</span></p>

Data from: Influence of group size on the success of wolves hunting bison
An intriguing aspect of social foraging behaviour is that large groups are often no better at capturing prey than are small groups, a pattern that has been attributed to diminished cooperation (i.e., free riding) in large groups. Although this suggests the formation of large groups is unrelated to prey capture, little is known about cooperation in large groups that hunt hard-to-catch prey. Here, we used direct observations of Yellowstone wolves (Canis lupus) hunting their most formidable prey, bison (Bison bison), to test the hypothesis that large groups are more cooperative when hunting difficult prey. We quantified the relationship between capture success and wolf group size, and compared it to previously reported results for Yellowstone wolves hunting elk (Cervus elaphus), a prey that was, on average, 3 times easier to capture than bison. Whereas improvement in elk capture success levelled off at 2–6 wolves, bison capture success levelled off at 9–13 wolves with evidence that it continued to increase beyond 13 wolves. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that hunters in large groups are more cooperative when hunting more formidable prey. Improved ability to capture formidable prey could therefore promote the formation and maintenance of large predator groups, particularly among predators that specialize on such prey.

No full daily data sets exist for the years 2006– 2009, 2012 and 2015. *No spider returns were observed for full daily data sets in 2000 or 2005 due to the small female wasp population and reduced observation efforts.
