Habitat: tropical/subtropical savanna

Altered habitat: inhabited area

Protection: unprotected

Substrate: ground surface

MAP: 500.0

Habitat comments: "The area is characterized by woodland savannah habitat"
"Annual rainfall averages ~500 mm with most rainfall concentrated in the months of December–April."
The area is "remote from agricultural villages and relatively unaffected by the migration, population growth, and agricultural development in other areas"
"This region continues to support the sustained presence of 200–400 Hadza community members who hunt mammals and birds using bows and arrows"
The area is "also occupied seasonally by Datoga pastoralists, who bring their livestock into Tli’ika during the dry season"

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

Sampling methods: automatic cameras

Sample size: 1575 captures or sightings

Years: 2018

Days: 141

Nets or traps: 19

Net or trap nights: 2182

Camera type: digital

Cameras paired: no

Trap spacing: 2.0

Basal area status: not applicable

Sampling comments: "A master grid was composed of 16 cameras spaced 2 km apart, and a sub-grid closer to the Hadza camp, composed of 4 cameras spaced 1 km apart"
Therefore, "a total of 20 camera traps (Bushnell Trophy Cam, infrared flash) were deployed ... onto suitably robust, mid to large-sized trees at a height of about 60 cm"
"At one site, cameras were repeatedly stolen and we did not obtain any data from this location"
"The 19 functioning camera traps operated for a range of 68–140 camera trap nights (69 to 141 camera trap days) from March 1 to July 21, 2018 with an average of 115 nights (116 days) per site. Cumulatively, a total of 2, 182 camera trap nights (2, 206 trap days) were collected"
"We set the cameras so that they would record a maximum of one picture per minute" and "we removed pictures of the same species that were taken within one hour of the initial picture of the same species prior to analysis to avoid pseudo-replications at each location"
