Camera traps are increasingly used to study wildlife ecology and inform conservation, but
valid inference depends on appropriate data analysis. This article introduces the most …

Remote photography and infrared sensors are widely used in the sampling of wildlife
populations worldwide, especially for cryptic or elusive species. Guiding the practitioner …

Bayesian and classical statistical methods. This book describes a general and flexible …

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 …

This advanced text focuses on the uses of distance sampling to estimate the density and
abundance of biological populations. It addresses new methodologies, new technologies …

Unbiased estimation of population density is a major and unsolved problem in animal
trapping studies. This paper describes a new and general method for estimating density …

Estimating density is a fundamental objective of many animal population studies. Application
of methods for estimating population size from ostensibly closed populations is widespread …

The jaguar (Panthera onca) is the largest feline in the Americas and third largest world-wide,
smaller in size only to the tiger (P. tigris) and lion (P. leo). Yet, in comparison, relatively few …

Camera traps have become the main method for estimating jaguar (Panthera onca)
densities. Over 74 studies have been carried out throughout the species range following …
