The rapid improvement of camera traps in recent decades has revolutionized biodiversity
monitoring. Despite clear applications in conservation science, camera traps have seldom …

Abstract Over several decades, Western Europe experienced an outbreak of sylvatic rabies,
eliminated through an EU programme involving large‐scale red fox vaccination campaigns …

Context Variation in the abundance of animals affects a broad range of ecosystem
processes. However, patterns of abundance for large mammals, and the effects of human …

Populations of bears in Asia are vulnerable to extinction and effective monitoring is critical to
measure and direct conservation efforts. Population abundance (local density) or growth (λ) …

Camera trapping is widely used in ecological studies. It is often considered nonintrusive
simply because animals are not captured or handled. However, the emission of light and …

Landscape-scale information on animal density is being increasingly recognized as a
fundamental parameter for enhancing wildlife conservation practices and management. It is …

Simple Summary Camera trap wildlife surveys can generate vast amounts of imagery. A key
problem in the wildlife ecology field is that vast amounts of time is spent reviewing this …

Aim We test a new species distribution modelling (SDM) framework, while comparing results
to more common distribution modelling techniques. This framework allows for the …

Population monitoring is critical to wildlife conservation, but density estimation is difficult for
wide-ranging, unmarked species inhabiting remote habitats. Furthermore, recent …

The use of camera traps as a tool for studying wildlife populations is commonplace.
However, few have considered how the number of detections of wildlife differ depending …
