Geography
Country: Taiwan


Coordinate: 23° 5' 30" N, 120° 53' 30" E
Coordinate basis: stated in text as range

Geography comments: general research area is "along the Nanzihshian logging road of Yushan National Park, south-central Taiwan" but the specific location is apparently "the study sample area near Alishan Station"
coordinate is the midpoint of ranges stated in the text
altitude 1700 to 2740 m

Altered habitat: secondary forest

Protection: national/state park

Substrate: ground surface

WMT: 15.0

CMT: 5.0

MAP: 4192.0

Methods
Life forms: carnivores,primates,rodents,ungulates

Sampling methods: no design,automatic cameras

Sample size: 102 captures or sightings

Years: 2004

Nets or traps: 25

Net or trap nights: 731

Camera type: analog

Cameras paired: no

Trap spacing: 1

Sampling comments: 25 automatic infrared cameras apparently left open continuously for a month (30 days); total sampling effort was 4387.4 camera hours, so either not all cameras were in operation at a time or (more likely and assumed) they were operational on average for 6 hours a night, so there were 4387.4/6 = 731 camera nights
cameras were spaced 1 km apart as closely as possible
macaque count is of groups, not individuals
