Sampling comments: fieldwork was "from January, 1995 to June, 1996. Monthly trappings were carried out for five consecutive days... For marsupials, an average of 15 live traps, measuring 20x20x40 cm (10 mm mesh), were placed 8 to 10 meters apart. For rodents, 5 mm mesh traps, measuring 1Ox10x22 cm, were placed five meters apart. Twelve traps were used during the first seven months, later increasing to 27. Traps were placed on the ground along transects... The bait used was bacon for marsupials and com for rodents"
trapping effort is apparently 795 trap nights based on adding up figures in Table 3
