Sampling comments: "Camera trap surveys were conducted from March to July 2012. We worked with volunteer households to deploy Reconyx PC800 Hyperfire (Reconyx, Inc. Holmen, WI) motion-sensitive camera traps equipped with an infrared flash at 32 paired sites throughout the study area... One site within each pair contained an active chicken coop and was in close proximity (100 m-500 m) to a paired site without a chicken-coop... Volunteers ran cameras continuously for 2 weeks at each site. Cameras ran 24 h a day"
