Sampling comments: "Between November 2012 and July 2013, we deployed camera traps covering the 16 forest ranges of the study area... We divided the study area into 2 km2 grids and randomly selected grids for camera locations... Each station consisted of one camera trap (Moultry D55, GameSpy Digital Camera, Alabaster, USA) and set to operate 24 h per day... We aimed to leave camera traps in the forest for the 45 days... We conducted camera surveys at 187 locations" but the number of actual traps is obviously far less because traps were left out for a much shorter period of time than the overall study
