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 traps (CTs) are used for wildlife monitoring globally. How CTs are used in wildlife
studies across Africa, however, remains unknown. We provide the first literature review of CT …

Fauna monitoring often relies on visual monitoring techniques such as camera trapping,
which have biases leading to underestimates of vertebrate species diversity. Environmental …

Tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) are model systems for global
biodiversity science, but continuing data gaps, limited data standardisation, and ongoing flux …

Introduction Fundamental data on the distributions, diversity, and threat status of terrestrial
snakes and lizards (hereafter squamates) is limited. This is due to the cryptic nature of …

Context Camera trapping is a widely used monitoring tool for a broad range of species
across most habitat types. Camera trapping has some major advantages over other trapping …

Camera traps are increasingly used to survey and monitor rare or cryptic species, yet few
studies consider how camera orientation influences species detectability, among other …

Context Estimating animal abundance often relies on being able to identify individuals;
however, this can be challenging, especially when applied to large animals that are difficult …

Simple Summary Camera-traps are a useful tool in wildlife research and management, as
they allow researchers to observe wildlife with minimal intrusion. However, despite their …

Camera traps are increasingly used to estimate the density of animals as well as their
activity patterns. As camera traps allow monitoring of animals over long periods of time …
