Gonzolillo - Extended Subproject

This site is a ~50ha dairy farm due west of Chepo along the Pan-American Highway.  Originally, six baited cameras and one unbaited camera (along a large dirt road) were set in open areas and riparian forest corridors at >250m spacing (see Gonzolillo - Original Subproject).  Subsequently, the grid was expanded to collect data at a smaller spatial scale (extended grid data stored here).  During the grid expansion, new camera locations were pre-selected by superimposing a 100m-by-100m grid onto the study area and setting cameras within 15m of the pre-selected locations, provided any suitable or marginal tree was available for setting a camera.

None of the cameras in the extension were baited, and many of the bait cans from the original set were removed by a heavy rainstorm just prior to the grid extension (see individual camera notes for additional details).  Although the original camera array was deployed 10 days prior to the grid expansion, all cameras from the original and extended grid were collected on the same day.
