Sampling comments: "We used pitfall and snap traps... We established 14 variable length traplines (ca. 100 m – 250 m) in each of the seven habitat types. Trap stations were
set 10 m apart on the traplines. One Museum Special snap trap and one Victor snap trap... were set at each trapping station" and "baited with oats and peanut butter... Pitfall traps were also arranged in traplines with one trapline in each of the wet meadows sampled. Traps were spaced about 10 m apart, with 15 or 20 traps per trapline... Pitfall traps were not baited"
