Camera Trapping for Wildlife Research
From Francesco Rovero and Fridolin Zimmermann
Pelagic Publishing
320 pages
Format: 244 x 170 mm
Price: £34.99
Paperback ISBN: 978-1-78427-048-3
Hardback ISBN: 978-1-78427-063-6
This book provides a much-needed guide to the sound use of camera trapping for the most common ecological applications to wildlife research. Each phase involved in the use of camera trapping is covered:
- Selecting the right camera type
- Set-up and field deployment of your camera trap
- Defining the sampling design: presence/absence, species inventory, abundance; occupancy; capture mark-recapture; behavioural studies; community-level analysiy
- Data storage, management and analysis, illustrative examples for using R and Excel
- Using camera trapping for monitoring, conservation and public engagement.
Each chapter in this edited volume is essential reading for students, scientists, ecologists, educators and professionals involved in wildlife research or management.
