Differential use of trails by forest mammals and implications for camera-trap studies in Belize
PaperHarmsen and colleagues documented how different mammal species use trails versus off-trail forest to varying degrees, and showed that this differential trail use biases camera-trap data when stations…

Estimating puma densities from camera trapping across three study sites: Bolivia, Argentina, Belize
PaperKelly and colleagues estimated puma densities at multiple Latin American sites using camera-trap capture-recapture, confronting the challenge that pumas, unlike jaguars, have relatively uniform coats…

Research overview: mark-resight models for partially marked felid populations
OverviewSome felid populations contain a mix of individually identifiable and unidentifiable animals, for example when only some individuals bear distinctive scars, collars, or clear coat patterns. This overv…
Research overview: spatial and temporal avoidance among sympatric felids
OverviewWhere multiple cat species coexist, smaller felids often adjust their use of space and time to avoid larger, dominant competitors, and camera-trap data are a primary means of detecting these interacti…
Research overview: spatial mark-resight and unmarked spatial capture-recapture
OverviewBuilding on spatially explicit capture-recapture, spatial mark-resight and unmarked SECR methods estimate density when few or no animals can be individually identified, exploiting the spatial pattern…
Use of camera-trapping to estimate puma density and influencing factors in central Brazil
PaperNegroes and colleagues estimated puma density in the central Brazilian Cerrado using camera traps, confronting the difficulty of individually identifying pumas from their relatively unmarked coats by…
