Wildlife monitoring is essential for conservation science and data‐driven decision‐making.
Tropical forests pose a particularly challenging environment for monitoring wildlife due to the …

Camera trapping is an effective non-invasive method for collecting data on wildlife species
to address questions of ecological and conservation interest. We reviewed 2,167 camera …

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 …

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 …

Ecologists develop species-habitat association (SHA) models to understand where species
occur, why they are there and where else they might be. This knowledge can be used to …

Strategic conservation efforts for cryptic species, especially bats, are hindered by limited
understanding of distribution and population trends. Integrating long‐term encounter …

Animal density is a fundamental parameter in ecology and conservation, and yet it has
remained difficult to measure. For terrestrial mammals and birds, camera‐traps have …

Bumble bees are globally important pollinators, especially in temperate regions, and
evidence suggests that many species are declining. One recent high profile study by Soroye …

A central goal in camera‐trapping (CT) studies is to maximize detection probability and
precision of occupancy estimates while minimizing the number of CTs to reduce equipment …

Despite criticisms, the umbrella species concept remains a fundamental conservation tool
for protecting biodiversity in the face of global change, yet it is rarely tested. Food web theory …
