Camera trap study on inventory and daily activity patterns of large mammals in a mixed forest in north-western Turkey
This study aimed to detect the presence and the daily activity patterns of large mammals in a mixed forest in north-western Turkey. Field studies were carried out at 21 camera trap stations with a total sampling effort of 1046 camera trap days, covering an area of approximately 70 km(2) between June...
