Sampling comments: "We carried out our survey simultaneously at 17 camera trap stations, each having a pair of opposing cameras to record both flanks of an individual simultaneously. We used digital Cuddeback Capture 'Non-IR', Reconyx PC90 and PC900 and analogue Band-Genossenschaft camera trap models... All cameras were active 24 h day-1... We used a 2.5 x 2.5 km (6.25 km2) grid... By setting one station in every second grid cell, we placed a trap station in every 12.5 km2... Average minimum distance between adjacent trap stations was 2.5 +/- 0.5 km... we fixed the survey duration as 65 days, comprising 13 sampling occasions of 5 days each, between 30 November 2010 and 2 February 2011"
