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 …

The status of many carnivore populations is of growing concern to scientists and
conservationists, making the need for data pertaining to carnivore distribution, abundance …
