Camera traps have been used increasingly as a research tool to monitor wildlife globally,
and have become more advanced, thereby improving their performance and lowering costs …

Camera traps deployed in grids or stratified random designs are a well‐established survey
tool for wildlife but there has been little evaluation of study design parameters. We used an …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling can be a highly sensitive method for detecting aquatic
taxa; however, the cost‐efficiency of this technique relative to traditional methods has not …

Understanding the effect of anthropogenic disturbance, and its interaction with carnivores
and their prey, is crucial to support the conservation of threatened carnivores, particularly in …

Camera trapping is a standard tool in ecological research and wildlife conservation. Study
designs, particularly for small-bodied or cryptic wildlife species often attempt to boost low …

The impact of introduced predators is a major factor limiting survivorship and recruitment of
many native Australian species. In particular, the feral cat and red fox have been implicated …

Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the
boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators …

Resource distribution, predation risk and disturbance in space and time can affect how
animals use their environment. To date few studies have assessed the spatiotemporal trade …

Motion triggered camera traps are an increasingly popular tool for wildlife research and can
be used to survey for multiple species simultaneously. As with all survey techniques, it is …

Biodiversity conservation requires reliable species assessments and rigorously designed
surveys. However, determining the survey effort required to reliably detect population …
