Double-observer approach with camera traps can correct imperfect detection and improve the accuracy of density estimation of unmarked animal populations [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Camera traps are a powerful tool for wildlife surveys. However, camera traps may not always detect animals passing in front. This constraint may create a substantial bias in estimating critical parameters such as the density of unmarked populations.

Baiting/Luring Improves Detection Probability and Species Identification—A Case Study of Mustelids with Camera Traps [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Motion-triggered trail cameras (hereafter camera traps) are powerful tools which are increasingly used in biological research, especially for species inventories or the estimation of species activity.

Accessing camera trap survey feasibility for estimating Blastocerus dichotomus (Cetartiodactyla, Cervidae) demographic parameters [PDF]
Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2017 Demographic information is the basis for evaluating and planning conservation strategies for an endangered species. However, in numerous situations there are methodological or financial limitations to obtain such information for some species.

Camera Traps Document Infant Corpse Carrying Behaviour in Multiple Unhabituated Chimpanzee Populations [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionCamera traps are an important tool for wildlife research, particularly for estimating species distribution and habitat use. Although they are increasingly used to study animal behaviour, such as tool use and foraging, there are fewer examples of their ...

Optimising camera traps for monitoring small mammals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Practical techniques are required to monitor invasive animals, which are often cryptic and occur at low density. Camera traps have potential for this purpose, but may have problems detecting and identifying small species.

Camera Traps: A Novel Method to Estimate Numbers of Nesting Sea Turtles [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAbundance estimates are difficult to obtain for many animal groups, yet essential for endangered species management and conservation. For sea turtles, estimates are made from ground counts of nesting females, tracks, and nests, but these are challenging ...

Snap happy: camera traps are an effective sampling tool when compared with alternative methods [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Camera traps have become a ubiquitous tool in ecology and conservation. They are routinely deployed in wildlife survey and monitoring work, and are being advocated as a tool for planetary-scale biodiversity monitoring.
