Assessing mammal species richness and occupancy in a Northeast Asian temperate forest shared by cattle

Jiawei Feng et al.

Summary: In temperate forests of Northeast Asia, both natural and anthropogenic factors have varying influences on mammalian species richness and occupancy, with livestock grazing being the primary human disturbance negatively impacting species occupancy and richness. Multispecies occupancy models help identify drivers of biodiversity declines and guide conservation strategies in human-dominated landscapes.

High-density camera trap grid reveals lack of consistency in detection and capture rates across space and time

Joseph M. Kolowski et al.

Summary: Camera traps are commonly used to infer species occupancy, population density, and species abundance, but our study suggests that individual camera stations may not effectively sample animal presence and usage frequency due to idiosyncrasies in animal movement and measured/unknown micro-site characteristics.Recommendations for spatial replication within sites are made to minimize the impact of relevant micro-site characteristics that may be hard to identify.

Camera trap placement for evaluating species richness, abundance, and activity

Kamakshi S. Tanwar et al.

Summary: This study used two different camera trap placement designs and found that trail cameras and random cameras gave similar estimates for species richness and group size, but differed in estimates of relative abundance and activity patterns.

Integrating multi-method surveys and recovery trajectories into occupancy models

Brent R. Barry et al.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive framework using camera traps and detection dogs to study wildlife space use and population occupancy. By applying a Bayesian spatial occupancy model, researchers successfully estimated the distribution of Pacific fishers in Oregon and identified unexpected findings. Through comparing models within different ecological regions, they determined patterns of habitat selection and spatial use by fishers.

SNAPSHOT USA 2019: a coordinated national camera trap survey of the United States

Michael V. Cove et al.

Summary: In response to the accelerating global change, the SNAPSHOT USA project was launched to rapidly inventory wildlife populations across the United States using camera traps. The first annual survey yielded data on 83 mammal species and 17 bird species from 1,509 camera trap sites, providing valuable information for ecological research and conservation planning. Access to the survey data is open to all, with future updates and data paper submissions available through eMammal.si.edu/snapshot-usa.

Assessing the camera trap methodologies used to estimate density of unmarked populations

Pablo Palencia et al.

Summary: Population density estimations are crucial for wildlife management and conservation. In this study, three methods based on camera traps were compared for estimating population density without individual recognition. The results showed that each method has unique strengths and weaknesses, with Random Encounter and Staying Time (REST) being recommended for high abundance scenarios, Distance Sampling with camera traps (CT-DS) for low abundance scenarios, and Random Encounter Model (REM) for situations where camera trap performance is suboptimal. This broadens the applicability of camera trapping for estimating densities of unmarked populations.

Quantifying energetic costs and defining energy landscapes experienced by grizzly bears

Anthony M. Carnahan et al.

Summary: Studies show that the cost of uphill movement for grizzly bears increases with speed and slope angle linearly, while uphill travel at slower speeds is more costly than horizontal travel. The most efficient walking speed for grizzly bears is 1.19 m/s, yet bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem move at an average velocity of 0.61 m/s and prefer near-horizontal slopes. Grizzly bears choose paths across slopes that are 54% less steep and costly than the maximum available slope when traveling uphill or downhill.

An apex carnivore's life history mediates a predator cascade

Remington J. Moll et al.

Summary: The study found that American black bears mediate their top-down effects on sympatric mesocarnivores through hibernation, shaping the spatio-temporal dynamics of these animals through a spatial predator cascade of interference competition.

Modelling species distribution from camera trap by-catch using a scale-optimized occupancy approach

Jolien Wevers et al.

Summary: Habitat selection is scale-dependent and understanding the characteristic scale of environmental factors influencing species distribution is essential. Using camera trap data in the Swiss Jura Mountains, this study optimized characteristic scales of explanatory variables to construct multivariable, multiscale occupancy models for wild boar and roe deer. The findings suggest that the interaction between elevation, forest cover, ruggedness, and open landscape significantly influence species occupancy in the study area.

Landscape complexity persists as a critical source of bias in terrestrial animal home range estimation

David R. Heit et al.

Summary: Home range estimation methods based on two-dimensional data often assume flat landscapes, leading to potential underestimation of terrestrial animal home range size. Studies have shown that only a small percentage of research incorporates landscape complexity, highlighting a significant gap in current methodologies.

Effect of topographic complexity on species richness in the Galapagos Islands

Yannik E. Roell et al.

Summary: The study found that topographic complexity is an important factor influencing species richness in the Galapagos Islands, but different TC indices have varying impacts on different taxonomic groups. While incorporating TC indices improved models, no single index consistently contributed to species richness variation across all taxa. Future research should consider broad, multi-dimensional measures of TC to better understand its biological significance.

Habitat selection by wolves and mountain lions during summer in western Montana

Collin J. Peterson et al.

Summary: The study found that predictions of habitat selection by wolves were highly generalizable across different study areas, while predictions of mountain lion distribution were less generalizable. Features that facilitate the hunting mode of a predator may be more generalizable predictors of their habitat selection than features associated with local prey densities.

Effects of camera-trap placement and number on detection of members of a mammalian assemblage

Tim R. Hofmeester et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that targeting specific species in camera-trapping can increase detection probability for that species while also increasing detection probability for non-target species. Adding extra camera traps generally enhances detection probabilities and accuracy for all species, suggesting the use of multiple traps for estimating occupancy in large grid cells.

Empirical evaluation of the spatial scale and detection process of camera trap surveys
