Reliable assessment of animal populations is a long‐standing challenge in wildlife ecology.
Technological advances have led to widespread adoption of camera traps (CT s) to survey …

Camera traps are automated cameras, triggered by movements, used to collect
photographic evidence of the presence of animals in field research. I asked whether the use …

A guide to data collection, modeling and inference strategies for biological survey data using
Bayesian and classical statistical methods. This book describes a general and flexible …

We examine the abundance and distribution of Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae)
and nine prey species in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park on Sumatra, Indonesia. Our …

Abundance and density estimates are central to the field of ecology and are an important
component of wildlife management. While many methods exist to estimate abundance from …

Camera-traps are a widely applied to monitor wildlife populations. For individually marked
species, capture–recapture models provide robust population estimates, but for unmarked …

1. Density estimation is of fundamental importance in wildlife management. The use of
camera traps to estimate animal density has so far been restricted to capture-recapture …

Mammal inventories in tropical forests are often difficult to carry out, and many elusive
species are missed or only reported from interviews with local people. Camera traps offer a …

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 …

Calibrating indices of animal abundance to true densities is critical in wildlife studies
especially when direct density estimations are precluded by high costs, lack of required data …
