Sampling comments: the study used "fourteen digital camera-traps rotated across 21 locations (2008–2010). Cameras were positioned at least 1 km apart (mean = 2.9, range = 1.1–12.27) alongside animal trails (38%) and dirt roads (62%), in three of the four major habitat types (i.e. forest = 65%, plantation = 21% and pastureland = 14%)"
