Obtaining reliable species observations is of great importance in animal ecology and wildlife
conservation. An increasing number of studies use camera traps (CTs) to study wildlife …

Camera traps have become a popular sampling tool in ecological studies. This is especially
true for studies that estimate population densities through spatial capture-recapture models …

Habitat selection is strongly scale‐dependent, and inferring the characteristic scale at which
an organism responds to environmental variation is necessary to obtain reliable predictions …

Obtaining estimates of animal population density is a key step in providing sound
conservation and management strategies for wildlife. For many large carnivores however …

The population densities of leopards vary widely across their global range, influenced by
prey availability, intraguild competition and human persecution. In Asia, particularly the …

Density estimation is a key goal in ecology, but accurate estimates for unmarked animals
remain elusive. Camera trap data can bridge this gap, but accuracy, precision, and …

Over the last two decades, camera traps have revolutionised the ability of biologists to
undertake faunal surveys and estimate population densities, although identifying individuals …

Abstract In Switzerland, the European wildcat (Felis silvestris), a native felid, is protected by
national law. In recent decades, the wildcat has slowly returned to much of its original range …

The Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx population in the Carpathian Mountains is considered to be one
of the best preserved and largest in Europe and hence is a source for past and current …

Illegal hunting represents a major threat to the conservation of predators, but its impact
remains difficult to assess as there are strong incentives to conceal this criminal activity …
