Local Knowledge Graph (38 entities)
Loading graph...
Knowledge graph centered on Visual and camera trap survey of small mammals with 38 nodes and 90 connections. Top connected: species diversity, antipredator behavior, nonconsumptive effects, nutritional niche partitioning, mark-recapture.
Description
Combined direct visual observation during peak activity periods with motion-activated camera bucket traps to determine species presence/absence in meadow habitats. Camera traps used small entry holes and attractive bait to capture both ground squirrel species.
Typical Equipment
- binoculars
- GPS unit
- Browning Stike Force HD Pro X cameras
- 26.5L plastic buckets
- Ultra San Disk SD Cards
- camouflage tarps
- peanut butter
- oats
- horse feed
Output Measurements
- species presence/absence
- GPS coordinates of sightings
