Habitat: tropical/subtropical savanna

Protection: other protected area

Substrate: ground surface

Habitat comments: "covered by a well-preserved natural mosaic of Cerrado vegetation that includes open grasslands, shrubby grasslands with scattered trees, open woodland savannas, gallery forests, and wet meadows. The climate is tropical (Köppen Aw) with two well-defined seasons, one dry winter (May to September), and a rainy summer (October to April; Cardoso, Marcuzzo, & Barros, 2014). Access by the public is restricted"

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

Sampling methods: quadrat, automatic cameras

Sample size: 1607 captures or sightings

Years: 2014, 2015

Net or trap nights: 12650

Camera type: digital

Cameras paired: no

Trap spacing: 2.0

Basal area status: not applicable

Sampling comments: "we distributed 50 capture stations consisting of one camera trap activated by heat and motion (Bushnell Trophy Cam HD)... From August 2014 to May 2015, we conducted a camera trap survey of medium- and large-sized mammals... using a systematic grid... The average minimum distance between traps was 2.0 km... Cameras were placed along animal trails or close to tracks, burrows, feces, and so on, 50cm above the ground... We used an interval of 24hr between pictures of the same species to guarantee independence between them... The sampling effort with camera traps was equivalent to 426, 250 trap days" (latter figure is clearly erroneous and may be a typo for 12, 650, which I assume)
