Evaluating Thermal Infrared Drone Flight Parameters on Spider Monkey Detection in Tropical Forests

Geoffroy’s spider monkeys, an endangered, fast-moving arboreal primate species with a large home range and a high degree of fission–fusion dynamics, are challenging to survey in their natural habitats. Our objective was to evaluate how different flight parameters affect the detectability of spider m...
