The document discusses the application of a systematic camera trapping methodology for estimating the abundance and density of jaguars (Panthera onca) using capture-recapture analysis. Conducted across five study sites in Belize and Bolivia, the study highlights the challenges of monitoring jaguar populations due to their elusive nature and large home ranges. The results indicate jaguar densities ranging from 2.4 to 8.8 adult individuals per 100 km², demonstrating the effectiveness of this method for long-term population monitoring and conservation efforts.

What are the disadvantages of camera traps?

As camera traps are static, their weaknesses include relatively small detection areas, a bias towards mobile target species, and limited ability to provide accurate population estimates especially given large species ranges, low densities or inaccessible habitat.

What species are camera traps used for?

Camera traps have revolutionised mammal recording. With lowering costs and increasing functionality, many Mammal Society members now use them for monitoring local wildlife. They are a window into a secret world, helping to monitor movements of Badgers, Foxes, deer and other species, by day and night.

How many camera traps to use?

2 camera traps per camera trap site, traps set 300500 m apart for 28 days. For survey sites less than 20 ha, use 1 camera trap site. Ensure that the camera is in 24 hr mode (as quolls can be active both day and night).

What triggers a camera trap?

A camera trap is a camera that is automatically triggered by motion in its vicinity, like the presence of an animal or a human being. It is typically equipped with a motion sensorusually a passive infrared (PIR) sensor or an active infrared (AIR) sensor using an infrared light beam.

What is the purpose of the camera trap?

The importance of camera traps Camera traps provide data on species location, population sizes and how species are interacting. They also help us to understand how humans and livestock interact with each other and other forms of wildlife.

How do you calculate camera trap night?

This is typically measured in number of trap nights, usually defined as a continuous 24-hour period when a camera trap is set to be active. The information can then be used for other analysis, such as mark-recapture to estimate population size.

How long do camera traps last?

Because the camera flash has to remain charged and ready to shoot 24 hours a day, batteries last for about 36 exposures (two weeks to a month). The infrared trigger is passive so it lasts a little longer. However both are dependent on how much animal traffic there is at a site.
