| African golden cats, citizen science, and serendipity: trapping the camera trap revolution | |
| 2013 African Journal of Ecology (43): 74-78 | |
The use of camera traps for wildlife research and monitoring is increasing and this is yielding significant observations at an accelerating pace. Yet many potentially valuable observations are overlooked, misinterpreted or withheld. Using our first-ever images of a wild African golden cat (_Caracal aurata_) catching prey, we consider practical challenges and opportunities for more effective image management systems. In particular we highlight the benefits of online image archives and assessments. |
