Techniques for mammal research in the rainforest canopy presents a number of challenges; including difficulties accessing and maneuvering within the three-dimensional study area and thereby acquiring an adequate sample size. In addition, rainforest mammals are not evenly distributed in the canopy, resulting in stratification of species within the three dimensional environment (Grelle 2003), and all non-volant mammals are limited to the architecture of the forest.
