Comparison of species richness and detection between line transects, ground camera traps, and arboreal camera traps

Animal Conservation, 2020
Monitoring trends in the occurrence of species over time is important for informing conservation plans and concurrent management actions. Understanding the effectiveness of field methodologies for collecting accurate and precise data is crucial for ...

Camera Trapping

2014
Camera trapping in wildlife management and research is a growing global phenomenon. The technology is advancing very quickly, providing unique opportunities for collecting new biological knowledge. In order for fellow camera trap researchers and managers to share their knowledge and experience, the First International Camera Trapping Colloquium in ...

On the right track: placement of camera traps on roads improves detection of predators and shows non-target impacts of feral cat baiting

Wildlife research (East Melbourne), 2020
Context To understand the ecological consequences of predator management, reliable and accurate methods are needed to survey and detect predators and the species with which they interact. Recently, poison baits have been developed specifically for lethal

An underwater stereo-camera trap

Methods in Oceanography, 2014
Abstract This paper describes the design and deployment of a new type of underwater stereo camera capable of triggering when animals are present in the field of view. Unobtrusive evaluation of the camera view field for potential targets is achieved using far-red illumination invisible to most fishes.

Effect of Lure on Detecting Mammals with Camera Traps

Wildlife Society bulletin, 2020
Motion‐triggered camera traps are subject to imperfect detection and thus camera‐trapping surveys often try to increase species detectability as part of the study design.

Spot on: using camera traps to individually monitor one of the world’s largest lizards

Wildlife research (East Melbourne), 2020
Context. Estimating animal abundance often relies on being able to identify individuals; however, this can be challenging, especially when applied to large animals that are difficult to trap and handle.

Science, Conservation, and Camera Traps

2011
Biologists commonly perceive camera traps as a new tool that enables them to enter the hitherto secret world of wild animals. Camera traps are being used in a wide range of studies dealing with animal ecology, behavior, and conservation. Our intention in this volume is not to simply present the various uses of camera traps, but to focus on their use in

Are camera traps fit for purpose? A rigorous, reproducible and realistic test of camera trap performance

African Journal of Ecology, 2018
AbstractCamera traps are now widely used to produce the data that inform critical, large‐scale conservation strategies, but insufficient attention has been paid to evaluating or validating their performance. A realistic, reproducible and rigorous test of camera trap performance has been developed, using a real animal target moving in different ...
