Aim: Reliable estimates of population density are fundamental to wildlife conservation and management. Although the leopard cat is the most common and widespread wild felid in China, little is known about the ecology and population... more
The Sunda clouded leopard Neofelis diardi is a medium sized (15–25 kg) cat, found only on the Sundaic islands of Borneo and Sumatra. In recent years intensive camera-trapping surveys in Borneo have begun to shed light on the habitat... more
Many studies have demonstrated the importance of terrestrial mammal fauna to ecosystem functioning and services. To date, however, few studies of mammal abundance in Trinidad and Tobago have been conducted. Our main objective here was to... more
Southeast Asia’s tropical forests suffer the highest rates of deforestation and disturbance of any on Earth, with poorly understood impacts on native fauna. Asian tapirs (Tapirus indicus) are among the least studied of the large mammals... more
Borneo harbours more endemic carnivores than does any other island in the world except Madagascar, and almost half of the Bornean carnivore species have been classified by The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as globally threatened.... more
M.Sc. Thesis: Table Mountain and Silvermine‐Tokai are the two mountain ranges and distinct sections of Table Mountain National Park in closest proximity to the metropolitan megacity of Cape Town, SA. This study used unbaited... more
Inspired by the astonishing and unprecedented speed and scale of uptakes of the camera, this study seeks to unravel the behavioral aspects surrounding young people’s adoption and consumption of the device. Because the camera is associated... more
El estado de Michoacán presenta una amplia gama de ecosistemas y biodiversidad, de la cual destaca su mastofauna, alrededor de 161 especies de mamíferos silvestres terrestre. Por otro lado, regiones del estado presentan graves problemas... more
The flat-headed cat Prionailurus planiceps is classified as one of the most threatened cat species in the world. Its range is restricted to southern Thailand, peninsular Malaysia and the two largest Sunda Islands, Borneo and Sumatra. Its... more
Guanajuato es considerado como una entidad con diversidad intermedia, alcanzando un 16.6% de la mastofauna registrada en todo el país a pesar de presentar una alta fragmentación en sus ambientes naturales debido a su sobresaliente... more
As part of an effort to develop a comprehensive management plan for the Imbak Canyon Conservation Area in central Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, we conducted a rapid but extensive mammal survey using camera-trapping techniques. We gathered... more
The Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest is a biodiverse ecoregion that has seen major agricultural growth in the last 40 years, particularly in eastern Paraguay. Large tracts of forest have been transformed into crop land and the only remaining... more
Camera traps were used to examine male ocelot territories and microhabitat selection in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Little information is available on ocelots in Ecuador and no studies on ocelots had been conducted in the country using camera... more

Despite being heavily exploited, pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) have been subject to limited research, resulting in a lack of reliable population estimates and standardised survey methods for the eight extant species. Camera trapping... more
Short-tailed mongoose Herpestes brachyurus is known to inhabit Borneo, Sumatra and peninsular Malaysia. Locality records show that it is widespread and probably common in at least the northern half of Borneo. Records are much sparser... more
Hose's civet Diplogale hosei is one of the world's least known carnivores and is endemic to Borneo. We collected 43 records of which only 20 (Balanced Model) or 24 (Spatial Filtering Model) were used to model potential habitat... more
Wildlife monitoring technology is advancing rapidly and the use of remote sensors such as camera traps and acoustic detectors is becoming common in both the terrestrial and marine environments. Current methods to estimate abundance or... more
Selective logging is one of the most widespread disturbances to tropical forests worldwide, yet its impacts on large mammals remain poorly understood. We used camera trapping and hierarchical models to compare local abundance of a variety... more
Effective conservation and management of primates depend on our ability to accurately assess and monitor populations through research. Camera traps are proving to be useful tools for studying a variety of primate species, in diverse and... more
In the current context of biodiversity loss through habitat fragmentation, the effectiveness of wildlife crossings, installed at great expense as compensatory measures, is of vital importance for ecological and socioeconomic actors. The... more

From October-December 2013, we conducted a camera trap study of the newly discovered primate species lesula, Cercopithecus lomamiensis, in the Lomami River Basin, DR Congo. The primary aim of the study was to examine how lesula fares in... more
Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) and other wild cats are often surveyed using camera traps to identify individuals for density estimation via capture-recapture analyses or estimate occupancy via detection/non-detection analyses. Though... more
The first camera-trapping study in the Maliau Basin Conservation Area of Malaysian Borneo, an area containing some of the last intact rainforest in Southeast Asia, detected 13 small mammalian carnivore species over 2,915... more
Daily and seasonal activity of the mountain tapir Tapirus pinchaque was measured along trails and at two salt licks in mature and secondary montane forests of the Central Andes of Colombia using active and passive infrared monitors. Daily... more
