Sampling comments: "The present study was carried out in an intensive study area of 187 km2... Camera-trap data for our study were collected between November and April during 2008, 2009 and 2010... Cameras were distributed uniformly across the sites every 1.8 km... Each station comprised a pair of passive infrared analogue camera traps DeerCamR DC300... we had 20 trap stations in deciduous forest, and 17 and 13 traps in semi-evergreen and dry thorn forests respectively"
