Sampling comments: "We used five digital camera traps (LtI Acorn ® 6210MC, China) triggered by passive infrared sensors, set up at 28 sites during June 2012 – October 2013... We set camera height between 30 and 40 cm above the ground... The event of photographing an individual from the camera traps operating at a single camera station was considered to be an independent record/detection... the first capture of the individual within one minute time frame was considered as an independent record/detection"
