Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

An autonomous network of acoustic detectors to map tiger risk by eavesdropping on prey alarm calls

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery brings with it increased fatalities from human‐tiger conflict. We describe a network of autonomous intelligent passive acoustic sensors that monitor the forest for deer alarm calls as a proxy for tiger risk and provide a risk map to local communities in real‐time.

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

The Interactional Pathways of Mass Killings: Toward a Novel Understanding of Rampage School Shootings

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Rampage school shootings, where students go to their own school to randomly kill classmates, teachers, friends, and strangers, are among the most drastic types of human behavior. While research increasingly points to interaction dynamics as being key for the emergence of crime and violence, scholars have not yet systematically studied interaction ...
