The Wildlife Picture Index: monitoring top trophic levels (2010, methodology): “…the Wildlife Picture Index (WPI), that combines camera trapping, a field technique that is rapidly gaining acceptance and use throughout the world (Kelly, 2008; O’Brien, 2008; Rowcliffe & Carbone, 2008) with occupancy analysis (MacKenzie et al., 2006) and generalized additive models or GAMs…”
Multi‐scale habitat modelling identifies spatial conservation priorities for mainland clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa) (2019, background): “Furthermore, unadjusted capture frequencies tend to be highly correlated with adjusted estimates (Kelly, 2008).”
Quantifying the sensitivity of camera traps: an adapted distance sampling approach (2011, background): “In addition, the rate of detection of a species by camera traps (i.e. the raw number of records per unit time) may correlate well with animal density (Carbone et al. 2001; Kelly 2008; Rovero & Marshall 2009), suggesting a potential to use trap rate as an index of abundance.”
Altered activity patterns and reduced abundance of native mammals in sites with feral dogs in the high Andes (2016, methodology): “To evaluate abundance of native mammals in areas with and without dogs, we estimated a relative abundance index for each species at each sampling site based on photographic rates in camera traps (number of independent pictures/100 trap-nights; Kelly 2008; O’Brien et al. 2003) and, for track and sign”
A comparison of the effectiveness of camera trapping and live trapping for sampling terrestrial small-mammal communities (2010, background): “Before it is widely adopted, some issues surrounding the camera-trapping method need to be explored to determine its effectiveness for use in systematic surveys of small mammals (Kelly 2008).”
Evaluating relative abundance indices for terrestrial herbivores from large-scale camera trap surveys (2018, background): “Analysis of photographic capture rates is a promising alternative for deriving indices of animal abundance (Kelly, 2008; Rovero & Marshall, 2009).”
Camera trapping photographic rate as an index of density in forest ungulates (2009, background): “Whilst the need for calibration of an index of abundance to true density is an unavoidable limit of this approach (Williams, Nichols & Conroy 2002; Rowcliffe et al. 2008; O’Brien, inpress), it remains a verypromising tool (Kelly 2008).”
