Sample name: Hunchun National Reserve (summer)

Reference: H. Yang, X. Zhao, B. Han, T. Wang, P. Mou, J. Ge, and L. Feng. 2018. Spatiotemporal patterns of Amur leopards in northeast China: Influence of tigers, prey, and humans. Mammalian Biology 92:120-128 [ER 3324]

Habitat: temperate broadleaf/mixed forest

Protection: nature reserve

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: agriculture, grazing, hunting

Habitat comments: "The major vegetation types included deciduous birch (Betula linn.) and oak (Quercus mongolica) forests, most of which were secondary deciduous forests, as well as some coniferous forests... The HNR has been exposed to human disturbance for decades, including plantations (crops and ginseng farms), animal husbandry (cattle grazing and frog farming), and poaching"

Life forms: carnivores, primates, ungulates, other small mammals

Sampling methods: no design, automatic cameras

Sample size: 10461 captures or sightings

Years: 2013

Seasons: summer, autumn

Nets or traps: 163

Net or trap nights: 20561

Camera type: digital

Cameras paired: yes

Trap spacing: 3.6

Basal area status: not applicable

Sampling comments: "In each grid (3.6 * 3.6 km), mostly 2 camera traps were placed along road, trail or ridge" (this apparently means the cameras were paired)
"We analysed only videos taken at a minimum time interval of 30 minutes... we defined the seasons as the snow period (winter: Jan-Apr and Nov-Dec) and the snow-free period (summer: May-Oct)"
sampling was from "January 2013 to December 2013" (so the "winter" counts pertain to two separate intervals)
separate winter and summer counts are given, but separate trap-night totals for these intervals are not indicated; because each interval is six months, it is assumed that half of the overall 41, 122 trap-night count applies to each one
