same locations as the unbaited, but with acoustic and/or scent lure

stratified random cameras in different habitats

Data from a 2011 survey of Shingle Shanty with camera traps.  Traps were run first without bait and then some were baited with acoustic or olfactory lures.  Traps were stratified between habitat including bogs and forest.  At the same time a team from the NY State Museum and Smithsonian collected small mammals in some of the same places. 

Data from PR from 2012, these were first uploaded to the Pace db and then moved to eMammal in 2017

Cameras set to test three models of animal corridors in suburban Albany.  Deployment names indicate if the cooridors are from Animal Defined (AD), Least Cost Path models (LCP), Circuit Scape models (CS) or control no corridor (NC).
