The Forest Ecology Research Plot (FERP) camera trapping study follows protocols established by the Smithsonian Tropical Reseach Institute/Center for Tropical Forest Science (Jansen et al. 2014), allowing for comparison with other ForestGEO mapped plots across the globe. This study aims at non-invasively documenting the presence and relative abundance of mammals on and around the FERP that may interact with the mapped plot’s vegetation.
