Sampling comments: "We conducted camera-trapping surveys from January to November 2015... We set camera traps at stations 0.5-2 km apart. To place the camera traps (camera stations) at regular intervals, we created grids of 500 x 500 m... We placed the camera traps in one monitoring block at a time, and rotated the camera traps among blocks every two months, meaning each block was monitored just once... We considered a temporally independent event when: (a) more than one photograph of the same species was obtained at the same station after a period of 1 hour; (b) consecutive photographs from the same station recorded different species or clearly distinguishable individuals; (c) photographs from the same station were not consecutive; and (d) when a group of individuals of the same species was recorded, each individual was considered a single record"
