Methods
Life forms: carnivores, primates, ungulates, birds
Sampling methods: automatic cameras
Sample size: 1475 captures or sightings
Years: 2018, 2019
Nets or traps: 33
Net or trap nights: 5094
Camera type: digital
Cameras paired: no
Basal area status: not applicable
Sampling comments: "We divided the WNNR into 1 km2 square-shaped grids and chose the presence of paths with giant panda signs (feeding traces, footprint, droppings etc.) in order to set one camera in each of the grids"
"Thirty-three cameras were placed between 2640 and 3204m above sea level"
"We used infrared automatic cameras (LTL AcornTM 6210) and at each grid a camera was fixed on a tree or bamboo bush at 30–80 cm above the ground"
"The cameras were continuously monitored between May 2018 and June 2019"
Only 10 wild species (in addition to the giant panda) "with higher photographic rates" are reported in the study. Apparently, species with "lower photographic rates" were discarded (and thus are not reported) to "avoid the disproportionate statistical effects of occasional occurrences"
