Sampling comments: the study used "mist nets (12 m, 16 mm mesh, four tier)... during the hot season (February 2011) and cold season (July 2011). During each season 15 mist nets were erected forming a T-shaped net line for 36 daylight hours and were operated from dawn (6:00) to dusk (18:00) for three consecutive days. The nets were located more than 100 m from the forest edge"
