An open-access platform for camera-trapping data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In southern Mexico, local communities have been playing important roles in the design and collection of wildlife data through camera-trapping in community-based monitoring of biodiversity projects. However, the methods used to store the data have limited

Determining the efficacy of camera traps, live capture traps, and detection dogs for locating cryptic small mammal species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Metal box (e.g., Elliott, Sherman) traps and remote cameras are two of the most commonly employed methods presently used to survey terrestrial mammals. However, their relative efficacy at accurately detecting cryptic small mammals has not been adequately

Testing the consistency of wildlife data types before combining them: the case of camera traps and telemetry. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Wildlife data gathered by different monitoring techniques are often combined to estimate animal density. However, methods to check whether different types of data provide consistent information (i.e., can information from one data type be used to predict

Automated distance estimation for wildlife camera trapping

open access: yesEcological Informatics, 2022
The ongoing biodiversity crisis calls for accurate estimation of animal density and abundance to identify sources of biodiversity decline and effectiveness of conservation interventions. Camera traps together with abundance estimation methods are often employed for this purpose.

Single-Camera Trap Survey Designs Miss Detections: Impacts on Estimates of Occupancy and Community Metrics.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The use of camera traps as a tool for studying wildlife populations is commonplace. However, few have considered how the number of detections of wildlife differ depending upon the number of camera traps placed at cameras-sites, and how this impacts ...

Inwentaryzacja dużych ssaków z wykorzystaniem fotopułapek – przykład realizacji w trzech nadleśnictwach północno-zachodniej Polski [PDF]

open access: yesLeśne Prace Badawcze
Camera traps are frequently used in wildlife research, including biodiversity assessment, behavioral studies, and abundance estimation. New statistical methods, such as the Random Encounter Model (REM) – which allows population density estimation without

Can camera traps monitor Komodo dragons a large ectothermic predator? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Camera trapping has greatly enhanced population monitoring of often cryptic and low abundance apex carnivores. Effectiveness of passive infrared camera trapping, and ultimately population monitoring, relies on temperature mediated differences between the

Mammal population density estimation using camera traps based on a random encounter model: theoretical basis and practical recommendations

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2023
Estimating the population density of mammals has long been one of the problematic tasks of both fundamental population ecology and practical programmes for their conservation and management. The majority of methods for population density estimation using

Limitations to recording larger mammalian predators in savannah using camera traps and spoor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Traditionally, spoor (tracks, pug marks) have been used as a cost effective tool to assess the presence of larger mammals. Automated camera traps are now increasingly utilized to monitor wildlife, primarily as the cost has greatly declined and ...

Pursuing packrats: An evaluation of noninvasive detection methods for Neotoma

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Woodrats (Neotoma spp.) are imperiled in large swathes of the United States. Their populations have previously been monitored mainly through live‐trapping and sign surveys.
