Age, sex, reproductive condition, and capture locations of each individual are recorded at each capture.
Live mass is recorded at the first capture in each trapping period.
Each trapline consists of 20 stations with an inter-station distance of 15 m and terminal stations at least 50 m from the boundary of the watershed. Therefore, the two traplines within a treatment are not truly replicates of each other. All stations are marked with orange plastic surveyor flags before each census. The bait is suspended in the trap by closing the back door of the trap on the twisted end of the weighing paper. With the nest material and a large amount of bait in each trap, mammals are typically in good condition at the time of trap check.
