Habitat comments: "a large area of submontane forest surrounded by livestock pastures although still in contact with original vegetation. The reserve has premontane wet forests and tropical moist forests" and specifically a "along a trail with the same name that runs from the research station to the Camp Site, was situated in an old-growth, broadleaf forest close to a river, which opened towards a recovering livestock pasture with tall grasses, frequented by horses; middle-aged secondary succession"

Methods
Life forms: bats
Sampling methods: no design, mist nets
Sample size: 84
Years: 2017
Days: 2
Seasons: wet or monsoon
Nets or traps: 2

Sampling comments: sampling was in the rainy season in June 2017
"Bats were captured using three to four 6-m ground level mistnets (36-mm mesh, 4 shelves, Avinet, Portland, ME, USA)... The nets were usually open from sunset to around 11 pm and examined every 10 min"
22.2 mist net hours, implying that only two nets were actually used
