Sampling comments: "Surveying was conducted through both wet and dry seasons between March 2012 and May 2014... Sixty sampling locations (each consisting of 100 m long × 4 m wide transects; surveyed up to two metres in height; Folt and Reider, 2013) were established... twenty within CCR... Each transect was surveyed between 13 and 22 occasions... Individuals captured during nocturnal transects were released behind the searchers" and there were specifically 66 "samples" pertaining to CCR
