Methods
Life forms: rodents
Sampling methods: quadrat,baited,Havahart traps
Sample size: 772 captures or sightings
Years: 1970 - 1972
Days: 223
Seasons: dry,wet or monsoon
Net or trap nights: 7632
Sampling comments: Havahart traps laid out in a 40 x 110 m grid and baited with "shelled ground nuts, ripe bananas and fresh cassava"
number of traps in use at a time varied from 20 to 49; trap nights laboriously computed from data in Table 1
counts include recaptures
