| Evaluating jaguar densities with camera traps | |
| 2013 Full Book | |
This document is designed as an introduction to conducting terrestrial mammal abundance surveys using camera traps with the primary focus being jaguar population estimates. The guidance within is based upon established procedures for mark and recapture analyses of closed populations, using cameras in place of traps, and the natural markings of the target species to recognize "recaptures" in photographs. With the date stamped on the photographs, researchers can measure days or blocks of days as discrete sampling events. |
