Sample name: Goonoo State Conservation Area (on-track, pre-baiting)

Reference: A. L. Towerton, T. D. Penman, R. P. Kavanagh, and C. R. Dickman. 2011. Detecting pest and prey responses to fox control across the landscape using remote cameras. Wildlife Research 38(3):208-220 [ER 1717]

Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: selective logging, invasive animals

WMT: 24.6

CMT: 9.9

MAP: 588.0

Habitat comments: the state forest "was dedicated in 1917 and continued to be used as a source of timber... The forest is dry sclerophyll and dominated in different areas by black cypress pine (Callitris endlicheri), ironbarks (Eucalyptus crebra, E. nubila and E. beyeriana) and red gums (E. dwyeri and E. blakelyi)"
winter min/max 2.6/17.3, summer min/max 16.2/33

Life forms: carnivores, ungulates, other large mammals, other small mammals, birds

Site area: 2513.0

Sampling methods: quadrat, automatic cameras

Sample size: 213 captures or sightings

Nets or traps: 24

Net or trap nights: 141

Camera type: digital

Cameras paired: no

Basal area status: not applicable

Sampling comments: the study was "in autumn 2009" with "two sample periods over 2 weeks of six nights each... Forty-eight camera traps at eight grid points were used in Study 1 during March (pre-baiting)... Six cameras were placed within a 1-km radius of each grid point, three on vehicular tracks (more than 500 m apart) and three off tracks (1km apart)... Moultrie I60 digital game cameras... with a passive sensor and infrared flash... were used"
sampling area in ha is 8 points x pi x 100 because the radius is 1 km
there were 564 trap nights over four treatments, so I assume that 141 pertain to this one
