Shifts in abiotic conditions can strongly influence not only the demography, ecology, and
evolution of individual species, but also the networks of interactions that structure …

Photo-identification (photo-ID) with camera traps was examined as a non-invasive method
for studying and monitoring the endangered Saimaa ringed seal Phoca hispida saimensis …

In order to monitor an animal population and to track individual animals in a non‐invasive
way, identification of individual animals based on certain distinctive characteristics is …

Reliable population estimates are fundamental to the conservation of endangered species.
We evaluate here the use of photo-identification (photo-ID) and mark-recapture techniques …

The conservation efforts of the endangered Saimaa ringed seal depend on the ability to
reliably estimate the population size and to track individuals. Wildlife photo-identification has …
