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

Camera trapping as a method for estimating abundance of Mexican wolves

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Estimating wildlife abundance, particularly for rare and elusive species, is challenging because of time, cost, and methodological constraints. The Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), a federally‐listed endangered subspecies of gray wolf, is currently ...

Arboreal camera trapping: a reliable tool to monitor plant‐frugivore interactions in the trees on large scales

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Although arboreal camera trapping is a growing field, it has rarely been used for monitoring plant‐frugivore interactions in the trees. Frugivore foraging behavior generally occurs in trees, hence arboreal camera trapping can be a potentially useful tool

How long is enough to detect terrestrial animals? Estimating the minimum trapping effort on camera traps [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2014
Camera traps is an important wildlife inventory tool for estimating species diversity at a site. Knowing what minimum trapping effort is needed to detect target species is also important to designing efficient studies, considering both the number of ...

Assessing the status of wild felids in a highly-disturbed commercial forest reserve in Borneo and the implications for camera trap survey design. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The proliferation of camera-trapping studies has led to a spate of extensions in the known distributions of many wild cat species, not least in Borneo. However, we still do not have a clear picture of the spatial patterns of felid abundance in Southeast ...

Long-term monitoring reveals the value of continuous trapping to curtail the effects of free-roaming cats in protected island habitats

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Free-roaming domestic cats (Felis catus) pose numerous risks to biodiversity conservation, especially in island ecosystems. However, the removal of cats is costly, labor-intensive, and often demands more resources than land managers have at their ...

A direct comparison of camera‐trapping and sign transects for monitoring wildlife in the Wanglang National Nature Reserve, China

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Wildlife monitoring plays a critical role in evaluating the management and conservation of biodiversity. During monitoring activities in Chinese nature reserves dedicated to giant panda conservation, indirect sign surveys along fixed transects are the ...
