Efficient and effective monitoring methods are required to assess population status and
gauge efficacy of conservation actions for threatened species. Here we review the spectrum …

Many wildlife species are threatened in Asia, including the five species of terrestrial bears
(Asiatic black, Ursus thibetanus; brown, U. arctos; sloth, Melursus ursinus; sun, Helarctos …

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) …

Leopards have the largest natural distribution of felids, but have lost a third of their historical
range, and their current CITES status is 'Near Threatened'. Leopards are a highly sought …

Spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models have advanced our ability to estimate population
density for wide ranging animals by explicitly incorporating individual movement. Though …

Burris Frederick Skinner (March 20, 1904–August 18, 1990), also known as BF Skinner, was
an American research psychologist, radical behaviorist, social commentator, and writer. He …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models have increasingly been used as a basis for
combining capture–recapture data types with variable levels of individual identity …

Monitoring population trends of threatened species requires standardized techniques that
can be applied over broad areas and repeated through time. Sun bears Helarctos …

To address biodiversity decline in the era of big data, replicable methods of data processing
are needed. Automated methods of individual identification (ID) via computer vision are …

Designing a population monitoring program for Asian bears presents challenges associated
with their low densities and detectability, generally large home ranges, and logistical or …
