Habitat: tropical/subtropical moist broadleaf forest

Protection: other protected area

Substrate: ground surface

Habitat comments: "The project area is divided into two plots (Seringal Itatinga and Seringal Porto Central) located along the Purus River... with only 1.4% of the forest area being converted into an open area or pasture with more than 98% forest... Two main vegetable typologies were identified in the area: Open Forest with Palm of Alluvial Influence, which is smaller and concentrated in areas near the river and Open Forest with Bamboo and Palms covers the largest area of the Purus Project area"

Sampling comments: "The community... was inventoried with the use of 10 BUSHNELL TROPHY CAM HD traps... tree-tied approximately 30 to 40 cm above the ground... . The sampling stations were installed at regular distances of 1 km from each other, in two lines of 4.5 to 5 km... No baits were used... The traps operated continuously (24 hours a day) for 120 days in the first sampling campaign (June 2013 to September 2013) and 150 days during the second campaign (December 2013 to May 2014)... Each record was considered independent if: (1) the interval between consecutive photos of the same species is greater than 1 h; (2) photographs of different individuals of the same species when differentiation was possible"
