Testing the precision and sensitivity of density estimates obtained with a camera‐trap method revealed limitations and opportunities

Abstract The use of camera traps in ecology helps affordably address questions about the distribution and density of cryptic and mobile species. The random encounter model (REM) is a camera‐trap method that has been developed to estimate population densities using unmarked individuals. However, few...
