Site area: 2.7
Sampling methods: quadrat,baited,Sherman traps
Sample size: 679 individuals
Years: 1967

Net or trap nights: 7210
Sampling comments: "Sherman live-traps (8 X 9 X 30 cm) were arranged in a 20 X 20 grid of 400 sites with I0-m spacing... Each trap contained enough seeds to prevent torpor... we prebaited traps by placing a small quantity of peanut butter/oatmeal mixture in front of each closed trap" (ratio of 7210 "Trap/nights" to 44 "Number of sessions" doesn't square with trap count of 400)
