Sampling comments: "This study was carried out during the dry season (09 February to 13 April 2019) and the beginning of the wet season (03 April to 22 June 2019) for approximately five months at six sites... A total of 100 camera traps (50 Cuddeback Ambush IR 1,187 and 50 Cuddeback Professional Color, Model 1,347 camera traps) were installed where mammal trails or traces were found... Cameras were set up to an approximate height ranging from 40 to 90 cm above ground... To ensure that the camera events were independent, photographs of the same species captured within 30 min of each other by the same camera were treated as a single event"
text says there were "9,007 camera days (4,431 in the wet season and 4,576 in the dry season)" but the latter two numbers are definitely reversed based on the actual RAI data
