Mineral Licks as Diversity Hotspots in Lowland Forest of Eastern Ecuador (2011, methodology): “Other studies have used 5 min as an interval [30], 30 min [6,31,32], or 1 h [18,33].”
High mammal species turnover in forest patches immersed in biofuel plantations (2017, methodology): “We used two main sampling techniques — camera trapping and sign surveys — to assess species richness and composition of medium to large-sized mammals (≥1 kg, see Srbek-Araujo and Chiarello, 2005).”
An evaluation of camera traps for inventorying large‐ and medium‐sized terrestrial rainforest mammals (2008, background): “Applications range from collecting species inventories (Maffei, Cuéllar & Noss, 2002; Silveira, Jacomo & Diniz, 2003; Trolle, 2003b; Srbek-Araujo & Garcia, 2005; Azlan & Lading, 2006) to studying activity patterns (van Schaik & Griffiths, 1996; Gómez et al., 2005; Azlan & Sharma, 2006) and…”
Large Mammals in an Agroforestry Mosaic in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2012, background): “Camera-traps are frequently used to sample terrestrial large mammals (Srbek-Araujo & Chiarello 2005, Tobler et al. 2008a, Espartosa et al. 2011) and have also proved effective for sampling arboreal species (Kierulff et al. 2004).”
Comparing methods for sampling large- and medium-sized mammals: camera traps and track plots (2008, methodology): “…methods in a variety of regions and focusing on distinct animal groups are extremely necessary but still scarce (Voss and Emmons 1996; Cutler and Swann 1999; Carbone et al. 2002; Jannelle et al. 2002; Srbek-Araújo and Chiarello 2005, 2007; Gaidet-Drapier et al. 2006; Barea-Azeón et al. 2007).”
Influence of camera-trap sampling design on mammal species capture rates and community structures in southeastern Brazil (2013, background): “The influence of habitat use on the detection probabilities and capture rates of mammals (e.g., Srbek-Araujo & Chiarello 2005, Larrucea et al. 2007, Tobler et al. 2008, Harmsen et al. 2010) is one of the main sources of variation in camera-trap data, reinforcing the fact that comparisons of…”
"Which camera trap type and how many do I need?" A review of camera features and study designs for a range of wildlife research applications (2013, background): “tries that hold very diverse communities of terrestrial vertebrates, many thousand camera trap days are required to obtain a fairly complete species list (Srbek-Araujo and Garcia, 2005; Azlan, 2006; Tobler et al., 2008); however, there is firm evidence that 1000 to 2000 camera trap days may be enoug”
Using Relative Abundance Indices from Camera-Trapping to Test Wildlife Conservation Hypotheses – An Example from Khao Yai National Park, Thailand (2011, methodology): “Live trapping methods should be most useful for assessing the small mammal prey base of carnivores since this group is under-sampled with camera trap methodology [37].”
