Habitat: temperate broadleaf/mixed forest

Protection: wildlife protected area

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: hunting,selective logging

Habitat comments: "KWDR is composed of mid-elevation mountain plateaus reaching up to 950 m, divided by steep and narrow rocky valleys. Our study targeted two habitat categories, cliffs and high flatland forests... Flatland forests occur at a higher plateau where the topography is more uniform and covered by Turkish pine and Turkish sweet gum... Main human activities in the area are summer tourism, logging by the forestry department, wild goat trophy hunting during rut season and some recorded poaching incidents. The area is protected against wildlife poaching by seven game wardens inside KWDR"

Sampling comments: "We used Scoutguard SG550 passive infrared camera traps in 2010–11 and Reconyx HC500 passive infrared models in 2012 surveys. Both surveys were conducted in winter and spring and no bait was used... The majority of the trap stations (N = 26) were not closer than 600 m walking distance to each other... Camera traps were active throughout 1269 camera trap days (ctds) in 2010–2011 winter and spring and 980 days in spring 2012"
