Sampling comments: "Each line contained 50 traps stations (10 m spacing) comprising a Sherman and Tomahawk traps and were sampled for seven nights. Traps were baited with peanut butter, oats, and fruits. Pit fall traps were placed outside of the line traps in primary or secondary forest, between three and six buckets were spaced at 5 m intervals along a transect. In total, 21 localities were sampled in the primary forest, 31 in secondary forest, and 36 in rural areas" (i.e., 88 localities x 7 nights = 616 nights x 100 traps plus 52 localities x 7 nights x a minimum of 3 pitfall traps = 62692 trap nights)
