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

The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend not only on their
presence but also on their local abundance. Progress in predictive spatial modelling has …

N‐mixture models describe count data replicated in time and across sites in terms of
abundance N and detectability p. They are popular because they allow inference about N …

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 …

Reliable estimates of animal density and abundance are essential for effective wildlife
conservation and management. Camera trapping has proven efficient for sampling multiple …

We examine the evidence linking species' traits to contemporary range shifts and find they
are poor predictors of range shifts that have occurred over decades to a century. We then …

Abstract Information on species' distributions, abundances, and how they change over time
is central to the study of the ecology and conservation of animal populations. This …

The ability to directly monitor animal populations across time and space is a key element of
wildlife conservation and management, but logistically difficult to achieve. Photographic …

Biodiversity conservation faces a methodological conundrum: Biodiversity measurement
often relies on species, most of which are rare at various scales, especially prone to …

Interest in, and opportunities to include functional and phylogenetic attributes of species in
community ecology and biogeography are rapidly growing and seen as vital for the …
