Declarations
:
: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
: All applicable international and/or national guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed (Sikes et al. CitationRef removed). Although there was no institutional ethical committee (this was created only in 2003: ExternalRef removed) during the time animals were sampled (1995), the authors (NCC) followed the best practices of animal care (e.g., when capturing and marking) during the animal manipulation (see Sikes el al. CitationRef removed). These included shelter over traps to protect captured animals from environmental conditions, revision of traps during early morning (because the focal species is nocturnal), gently handling the animals for data record, and assuring a safe animal release after handling.
