Sampling comments: the area "was populated with 25 Bushnell HD camera traps which were evenly spaced with an oblique distance of 500 m between them"
half the cameras were located "20 m from each grid point" and half "to a maximum of 120 m from each designated grid point" and separate counts of large mammals are given for each category, but not for the other taxa
"Consecutive photographs of the same species at a given camera station were deemed independent if photographs were taken > 1 h apart"
