Verschueren et al.'s camera-trap research in Ondjou Conservancy, Namibia, reveals a surprising array of predators despite human encroachment and prey depletion in the region. Discover the hidden diversity of Namibia's carnivores in @stijn_versch's blog🐾📸

Monitoring cheetahs is imperative for conservation planning, but challenging due to the species' wide range and low detection rates.
Combining detection dog surveys and camera traps reduced the effort required to accurately survey the cheetah population.

Conservation efforts increasingly use celebrities to try and influence peoples’ #behaviour – especially around #wildlife consumption.
A new paper led by @alegriaoc outlines a decision guide created to help improve effectiveness of such initiatives.

Do you use #CameraTraps? Have you ever considered how the decision to place the camera in a tree or elsewhere may influence your results? 💭
This study discusses how the precision of detection rates can be improved via clustered and rotating designs 📸

My new research: No link between zodiac sign & subjective well-being and quality of life (distress, job satisfaction, happiness, etc.). Zodiac sign did not outperform random numbers. Challenging astrological myths and stereotypes.
