• Limitations of recreational camera traps for wildlife management and conservation research: A practitioner’s perspective (2015, unknown): “These characteristics make camera traps particularly well suited to the monitoring of elusive species in remote areas or to situations where population densities are so low that data gathering in more conventional ways would not be effective (Long et al. 2008).”
• Improving density estimates for elusive carnivores: Accounting for sex-specific detection and movements using spatial capture–recapture models for jaguars in central Brazil (2011, background): “Camera traps have considerably advanced our ability to study elusive animals (Kays and Slauson, 2008).”
• Using environmental DNA methods to improve winter surveys for rare carnivores: DNA from snow and improved noninvasive techniques (2019, methodology): “Prior to the development of these methods, there was limited information on rare carnivores (Zielinski and Kucera, 1995; Long et al., 2008).”
• Estimating abundance of the remnant Apennine brown bear population using multiple noninvasive genetic data sources (2015, background): “However, the recent availability of a variety of noninvasive sampling methods for carnivores (e.g., Long et al. 2008; O’Connell et al. 2011; Kelly et al. 2012) coupled with the development of flexible modeling approaches are increasingly offering new opportunities to reliably assess the status of…”
• Evaluating the potential biases in carnivore capture–recapture studies associated with the use of lure and varying density estimation techniques using photographic-sampling data of the Malagasy civet (2011, background): “sampling of species with uniquely identifying physical marks (Long et al. 2008).”
• Predicting carnivore occurrence with noninvasive surveys and occupancy modeling (2011, unknown): “Recent advances in noninvasive survey methods (e.g., Long et al. 2008) and likelihood-based occupancy modeling (MacKenzie et al. 2002; MacKenzie and Bailey 2004; MacKenzie et al. 2006) now permit both the collection of detection–nondetection data from wide-ranging carnivores and the simultaneous…”
• Towards good practice guidance in using camera‐traps in ecology: influence of sampling design on validity of ecological inferences (2013, unknown): “Numerous non-invasive methods have recently been developed to promote advancement in ecological research on such species (Long et al. 2008; O’Connell, Nichols & Karanth 2011).”
