Sample name: Fazenda Sta Emília (acurí forest)

Reference: M. Trolle. 2003. Mammal survey in the southeastern Pantanal, Brazil. Biodiversity and Conservation 12(4):823-836 [ER 1692]

Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Substrate: ground surface

MAT: 26.0

MAP: 1250.0

Habitat comments: "Semideciduous forest islands with Acurí Palms (Schealea phalerata) dominating the understorey... found on higher elevations meandering through the open landscape (cordilheiras) and... not subject to flooding"; the site "was purchased by UNIDERP three years before this study, and in connection with this most of the cattle was removed from the part of the reserve covered by the study. Due to the lack of cattle, in most open areas the grass was tall"
"highly seasonal, with warm, wet summers, cold, dry winters, and an annual flooding of the open areas following the rainy season"
climate data are for Aquidauana and are from Silveira et al. (2012, Scientia Horticulturae)

Life forms: carnivores,rodents,ungulates,other large mammals

Sampling methods: no design,baited,automatic cameras

Sample size: 47 captures or sightings

Years: 2001

Nets or traps: 6

Net or trap nights: 141

Camera type: analog

Cameras paired: no

Sampling comments: fieldwork was during "May–July 2001" and "Six Trailmaster infrared trailmonitors (five passive TM550s and one active TM1550) with TM35-1 camera kits... were used... The active system works with an infrared beam between a transmitter and a receiver, and is triggered when the beam is broken. The passive system consists only of a transmitter that emits a wedge-shaped infrared field, and is triggered by warm-blooded animals moving through the wedge... Bait was often used; mostly sardines in oil that proved to be quite attractive to carnivores"
