Life forms: carnivores,rodents,other small mammals

Sites: 3

Site area: 3

Sampling methods: quadrat,baited,other traps

Sample size: 542 individuals

Years: 1995 - 1997

Days: 39

Seasons: spring,summer,autumn

Nets or traps: 147

Net or trap nights: 5733

Sampling comments: "five sampling periods" per year over three years except that "One old-growth grid had only three sampling periods for 1997"; traps were open for three days during each sampling period; there were three sampled stands each including a grid, and "Trapping grids (1 ha) had 49 (7 x7 array) trap stations at 14.3-m intervals with one Longworth live-trap at each station... Traps were supplied with whole oats and carrot, and cotton as bedding"; total trapping effort was therefore 13 x 3 x 3 x 49 = 5733 trap nights
