Sampling comments: "The bird fauna was surveyed in the dry season, between April and November 2013, using 20 mist nets (12 m x 2.5 m; 36 mm mesh), set along trails of 120 m in length. Four transects were established within each burned site and four at each control site. The transects were 500 m apart and were located at least 50 m from the forest margin, in order to avoid possible edge effects. The nets were set between 06:30 h and 13:30 h on two consecutive days... A standard sampling effort of 560 net hours was implemented at each site. The birds captured were identified to species and marked with metallic bands" (560 net hours / 7 hours = 80 net days)
counts are of individuals
