Current Science 109(2): 323–330 — mammal detections (direct sightings and indirect signs) along 42 line transects (each 2 km) surveyed between November 2009 and June 2010, corresponding to event groups leopardsurvey:2009:directSign, leopardsurvey:2009:indirectSign, and leopardsurvey:2009:indirectLeoCanid. The complete dataset includes 35 taxa from 19 families across Mammalia, Aves, and Squamata, recorded by five observers (Akshay Surendra, Hari Sridhar, TR Shankar Raman, Priyanka Hariharan, and Swati Sidhu) using point count, line transect, and ad-hoc observation protocols.
