Estimating mesocarnivore abundance on commercial farmland using distance sampling with camera traps (2023)
Journal Article

1. Mesocarnivores are of particular interest in wildlife management. Their adaptability makes them a focus of public attention globally, as negative interactions with people occur regularly, but their importance to wider ecosystem function is increas...

Model Selection in Occupancy Models: Inference versus Prediction (2023)
Journal Article

Occupancy models are a vital tool for ecologists studying the patterns and drivers of species occurrence, but their use often involves selecting among models with different sets of occupancy and detection covariates. The information-theoretic approac... Read More about Model Selection in Occupancy Models: Inference versus Prediction.

Large-scale mammal monitoring: the potential of a citizen science camera-trapping project in the United Kingdom (2022)
Journal Article

1. In light of global biodiversity loss, there is an increasing need for large-scale wildlife monitoring. This is difficult for mammals, since they can be elusive and nocturnal. In the United Kingdom (UK), there is a lack of systematic, widespread ma...

Camera trapping with photos and videos: implications for ecology and citizen science (2022)
Journal Article

Camera traps are increasingly used in wildlife monitoring and citizen science to address an array of ecological questions on a wide variety of species. However, despite the ability of modern camera traps to capture high-quality video, the majority of...

Camera trap distance sampling for terrestrial mammal population monitoring: lessons learnt from a UK case study (2022)
Journal Article

Accurate and precise density estimates are crucial for effective species management and conservation. However, efficient monitoring of mammal densities over large spatial and temporal scales is challenging. In the United Kingdom, published density es...

Citizen scientists: school students conducting, contributing to and communicating ecological research – experiences of a school–university partnership (2020)
Journal Article

Started in north-east England in 2015, MammalWeb aims to improve our knowledge of British mammals through the use of motion-sensing camera traps. Fundamental to the project is the involvement of local communities and individuals who act as citizen sc...

Innovations in Camera Trapping Technology and Approaches: The Integration of Citizen Science and Artificial Intelligence (2020)
Journal Article

Camera trapping has become an increasingly reliable and mainstream tool for surveying a diversity of wildlife species. Concurrent with this has been an increasing effort to involve the wider public in the research process, in an approach known as ‘ci...

Economical crowdsourcing for camera trap image classification (2018)
Journal Article

Camera trapping is widely used to monitor mammalian wildlife but creates large image datasets that must be classified. In response, there is a trend towards crowdsourcing image classification. For high‐profile studies of charismatic faunas, many clas... Read More about Economical crowdsourcing for camera trap image classification.
