Camera trap arrays improve detection probability of wildlife: Investigating study design considerations using an empirical dataset. [PDF]
, 2017 Camera trapping is a standard tool in ecological research and wildlife conservation. Study designs, particularly for small-bodied or cryptic wildlife species often attempt to boost low detection probabilities by using non-random camera placement or ...

Pangolins in global camera trap data: Implications for ecological monitoring
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Despite being heavily exploited, pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) have been subject to limited research, resulting in a lack of reliable population estimates and standardised survey methods for the eight extant species.

Position clamping in a holographic counterpropagating optical trap [PDF]
, 2011 Optical traps consisting of two counterpropagating, divergent beams of light allow relatively high forces to be exerted along the optical axis by turning off one beam, however the axial stiffness of the trap is generally low due to the lower numerical ...

Lifeplan Camera Trapping Protocol v3
, 2023 Lifeplan is a global biodiversity monitoring project with the aim of assessing the current state of biodiversity worldwide, and using this knowledge to generate predictions of how biodiversity might look in the future. In this protocol we describe the method used within the Lifeplan project for collecting camera trap data on an international scale in

Generation of an intense cold-atom beam from a pyramidal magneto-optical trap: experiment and simulation [PDF]
, 2003 An intense cold-atom beam source based on a modified pyramidal magneto-optical trap has been developed and characterized. We have produced a slow beam of cold cesium atoms with a continuous flux of 2.2× 10^9 atoms/s at a mean velocity of 15 m/s and with ...
