Evaluating camera survey methods for estimating wild turkey abundance
We relocated 92 eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) to an area unoccupied by conspecifics to evaluate efficacy of abundance estimation using camera‐trap techniques. We applied 8 common analytical methods (Schnabel, Huggins closed capture [Huggins], Huggins with random effects [HugginsRE], Jolly‐Seber, spatially explicit capture ...

Counting spots: Leopard density along a gradient of conservation rigor
We assess the density of leopard populations in and around Kruger National Park in South Africa and investigate the drivers behind differences in leopard densities across the landscape. In well protected areas leopard population density is influenced by biological, bottom‐up processes with NDVI serving as a proxy for prey catchability.

Bridging the SME reporting gap: A new model for predicting Scope 1 and 2 emissions
Abstract We present a novel statistical model for predicting Scope 1 and 2 emissions for small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). Trained on financial transaction data from over 100,000 UK SMEs, the model targets a business segment excluded from formal emissions reporting and often under‐engaged in sustainability efforts.

A spatially explicit approach for estimating space use and density of common genets
Un método espacialmente explícito para estimar el uso del espacio y la densidad de la jineta común Muchas especies que se presentan en bajas densidades no se estiman con precisión utilizando métodos de captura y recaptura, puesto que tales técnicas ...

Determining animal population structure and spacing often requires invasive approaches (e.g. trapping). We show key metrics can be reliably estimated for dingoes with camera traps, allowing researchers and practicioners to accurately, cost‐effectively and ethically characterise populations.

We assess the population of snow leopards in the multi‐use region of Paddar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Alongside we also investigate local land uses and estimate snow leopard distribution across Jammu and Kashmir. This study adds to the evidence that big cats, especially snow leopards, need landscape‐level conservation strategies, rather than solely ...

Estimating abundance of a cryptic social carnivore using spatially explicit capture–recapture
Estimating population abundance of wolves (Canis lupus) in densely forested landscapes is challenging because reduced visibility lowers the success of methods such as aerial surveys and enumeration of group size using radiotelemetry.

Research on species-habitat relationship implies that a specific parameter related to the species, such as abundance, has to be measured and compared to environmental features.
