Accurate detection and identification of insects from camera trap images with deep learning
Reported insect declines have dramatically increased the global demand for standardized insect monitoring data. Image-based monitoring can generate such data cost-efficiently and non-invasively.

PICT: A low‐cost, modular, open‐source camera trap system to study plant–insect interactions
Commercial camera traps (CTs) commonly used in wildlife studies have several technical limitations that restrict their scope of application. They are not easily customizable, unit prices sharply increase with image quality and importantly, they are not ...

Automated distance estimation for wildlife camera trapping
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.

Tapered optical fibers as tools for probing magneto-optical trap characteristics [PDF]
We present a novel technique for measuring the characteristics of a magneto-optical trap for cold atoms by monitoring the spontaneous emission from trapped atoms coupled into the guided mode of a tapered optical nanofiber.

eDNA sampled from stream networks correlates with camera trap detection rates of terrestrial mammals
Biodiversity monitoring delivers vital information to those making conservation decisions. Comprehensively measuring terrestrial biodiversity usually requires costly methods that can rarely be deployed at large spatial scales over multiple time periods ...

Inter-observer variance and agreement of wildlife information extracted from camera trap images
Camera traps are a popular tool in terrestrial wildlife research due to their low costs, easy operability, and usefulness for studying a wide array of species and research questions.

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

Evaluating species-specific responses to camera-trap survey designs
Camera traps are widely used to collect information on the distribution and abundance of multiple species simultaneously. However, we still lack important guidance for designing camera-trap surveys to monitor multiple species, and the consequences of ...

A first step towards automated species recognition from camera trap images of mammals using AI in a European temperate forest [PDF]
Camera traps are used worldwide to monitor wildlife. Despite the increasing availability of Deep Learning (DL) models, the effective usage of this technology to support wildlife monitoring is limited. This is mainly due to the complexity of DL technology
