Methods
Life forms: rodents,other small mammals
Sites: 6
Sampling methods: quadrat,Sherman traps,Tomahawk traps
Sample size: 25 individuals
Years: 2002, 2003
Nets or traps: 150
Sampling comments: "Mammals were sampled using a 40-m diameter circular trapping array with 15 sample points... Twenty Sherman folding traps" and five "Tomahawk folding traps" were placed at each site
NOTE: additional counts are reported for large mammals but are certainly based on track counts because "circular unbaited tracking stations were established" in each site
