Budget and human resources investment across different combinations of sampling effort and number of locations sampled. (a) All available data in one sampling locality; (b) all the available data from two localities; (c) Camera trap data in one sampling locality; (d) Camera trap data in both sampling sites. We estimate costs based on transportation expenditures, as the number of visits varied across locations, and on the field team size, as salary and meals expenditure depends on days expend for visit and number of people (Supplement 3). We assumed that the equipment cost was similar across sampling localities. The maximum cost (100%) was reached when we used all available data (b). For the other combination of sampling effort, costs decreased, varying 50–80% of the maximum.
