Surveillance of the goral population during an outbreak of sarcoptic mange
We acquired the surveillance data from 5 infrared cameras that were installed in an approximately 4-km long valley where the gorals were abundant in a reserve in Zhashui County (Fig. 1). These infrared cameras recorded images from January to December in 2018, 2019 and 2020, for a total of approximately 300 days each year. We used the change in the takin population as a reference because it was relatively stable. Additionally, the numbers of serow photos were too small to be analyzed in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
