Sampling variables and their thresholds for the precise estimation of wild felid population density with camera traps and spatial capture–recapture methods
Robust monitoring, providing information on population status, is fundamental for successful
conservation planning. However, this can be hard to achieve for species that are elusive and …

A multidisciplinary approach to estimating wolf population size for long‐term conservation
The wolf (Canis lupus) is among the most controversial of wildlife species. Abundance
estimates are required to inform public debate and policy decisions, but obtaining them at …

Sexual segregation results in pronounced sex-specific density gradients in the mountain ungulate, Rupicapra rupicapra
Sex-specific differences in habitat selection and space use are common in ungulates. Yet, it
is largely unknown how this behavioral dimorphism, ultimately leading to sexual …

Spatially explicit capture recapture density estimates: Robustness, accuracy and precision in a long-term study of jaguars (Panthera onca)
Camera trap** is the standard field method of monitoring cryptic, low-density mammal
populations. Typically, researchers run camera surveys for 60 to 90 days and estimate …

Estimating deer density and abundance using spatial mark–resight models with camera trap data
Globally, many wild deer populations are actively studied or managed for conservation,
hunting, or damage mitigation purposes. These studies require reliable estimates of …

Troubled spots: Human impacts constrain the density of an apex predator inside protected areas
Effective conservation requires understanding the processes that determine population
outcomes. Too often, we assume that protected areas conserve wild populations despite …

Spatial partial identity model reveals low densities of leopard and spotted hyaena in a miombo woodland
Decline in global carnivore populations has led to increased demand for assessment of
carnivore densities in understudied habitats. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) is used …
