Population density estimates are necessary to inform management and conservation, yet
are difficult to obtain for cryptic species such as carnivores, and often require intensive …

The random encounter model, a method for estimating animal density using camera traps
without the need for individual recognition, has been developed over the past decade. A key …

Density estimation is integral to the effective conservation and management of wildlife.
Camera traps in conjunction with spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models have been used …

Estimation of animal density is fundamental to ecology, and ecologists often pursue density
estimates using grids of detectors (eg, cameras, live traps, hair snags) to sample animals at …

Densities of elusive terrestrial mammals are commonly estimated from camera‐trap data.
Typically, this is a 2‐step process involving 1) fitting conventional closed population capture …

Abundance and density estimates are central to the field of ecology and are an important
component of wildlife management. While many methods exist to estimate abundance from …

Camera trapping is the standard field method of monitoring cryptic, low-density mammal
populations. Typically, researchers run camera surveys for 60 to 90 days and estimate …

In ecology, a study aiming to collect data over a relatively broad spatial scale and through
some sampling scheme is often called a survey. It is generally aimed at defining the status of …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) methods use the location of detectors (camera traps, hair
snares and live‐capture traps) and the locations at which animals were detected (their …

Estimation of animal density is fundamental to wildlife research and management, but
estimation via mark–recapture is often complicated by lack of geographic closure of study …
