Here we study nonmonotonic features which appear both in magnetoresistivity and anomalous Hall resistivity during the simple magnetization process, by systematically measuring type-II magnetic Weyl semimetal ${\mathrm{EuCd}}_2{\mathrm{Sb}}_2$ films over a wide carrier density range. We find that a positive magnetoresistivity hump can be explained as manifestation of a field-linear term in the generalized magnetoconductivity formula including the Berry curvature. As also confirmed by model calculation, the term can be negative and pronounced near the Weyl point energy in the case that the Weyl cones are heavily tilted. Our findings demonstrate extensive effects of the Berry curvature on various magnetotransport in magnetic Weyl semimetals beyond the anomalous Hall effect.
