Sampling comments: sampling was "during the dry season (January-May)" in 2017
a "10 x 10 km gridded survey design" was used
"We used a combination of infrared and white-flash cameras (Reconyx PC800, PC850, PC900) without bait"
"we captured several small mammals such as ground squirrel, hare, rats, and mice and aggregated into a generic small mammal group “ROD+”. Bats and galago (Galago senagelensis) were also detected but excluded from analysis because our study focused on terrestrial mammals"
