Our study is conducted across southeastern Kansas. Led by researchers and students at Pittsburg State University, our goal is to better understand the dynamics of a mammal community in relation to land use and vegetation cover on previously mined lands.
In January 2020 we deployed a transect of 35 cameras from 387 to 1283m near the summit of Mt. Lanjak. We aimed to deploy 4 cameras per 100m elevational band. All cameras were deployed between 10 and 50m from the primary trail to Mt. Lanjak, and along small animal trails whenever possible. Each camera trap station was baited with a scent stick anointed with canivore lure.

A total of 60 cameras were deployed during the early wet season of 2019 (March - July) with a goal of creating a basic species inventory and performing occupancy modelling for medium and large mammal species in the Proposed Zalone Taung National Park, Sagaing Region, Myanmar. Cameras were deployed systematically according to a 4x4km grid-based survey design.
