Abstract With the accelerating pace of global change, it is imperative that we obtain rapid inventories status and distribution wildlife for ecological inferences conservation planning. To address this challenge, launched SNAPSHOT USA project, a collaborative survey terrestrial populations using camera traps across United States. For our first annual survey, compiled data all 50 states during 14‐week period (17 August–24 November 2019). We sampled at 1,509 trap sites from 110 arrays covering...
Abstract SNAPSHOT USA is a multicontributor, long‐term camera trap survey designed to mammals across the United States. Participants are recruited through community networks and directly website application ( https://www.snapshot-usa.org/ ). The growing Snapshot dataset useful, for example, tracking wildlife population responses land use, cover, climate changes spatial temporal scales. Here we present 2021 dataset, third national US. Data were collected 109 arrays included 1711 sites. total...
Managing wildlife populations in the face of global change requires regular data on abundance and distribution wild animals, but acquiring these over appropriate spatial scales a sustainable way has proven challenging. Here we present from Snapshot USA 2020, second annual national mammal survey USA. This project involved 152 scientists setting camera traps standardized protocol at 1485 locations across 103 arrays 43 states for total 52,710 trap-nights effort. Most (58) were also sampled...
Free-roaming domestic cats ( Felis catus ) are known to pose threats ecosystem health via transmission of zoonotic diseases and predation native wildlife. Likewise, free-roaming also susceptible or disease from Physical interactions required for many these risks be manifested, necessitating spatial temporal overlap between wildlife species. Therefore, knowledge the location extent shared habitat activity periods would benefit management programs. We used data a 3-year camera trap survey...
Free-roaming cats are a conservation concern in many areas but identifying their impacts and developing mitigation strategies requires robust understanding of distribution density patterns. Urban residential may be especially relevant this process because free-roaming abundant these anthropogenic landscapes. Here, we estimate the occupancy Washington D.C. relate metrics to known landscape social factors. We conducted an extended camera trap survey public private spaces across analyzed data...
Abstract Identifying drivers of urban association in wildlife is a central challenge conservation biology. Traits facilitating access to novel resources and avoiding humans often correspond with exploitation mammal species, but these relationships differ by taxa trophic guild. Variation among or within traits may be yet untested explanation for the non‐generality species‐trait cities. Using camera trap data from 1492 sites throughout contiguous USA 2019, we investigated if species greater...
Abstract Aim The assembly of species into communities and ecoregions is the result interacting factors that affect plant animal distribution abundance at biogeographic scales. Here, we empirically derive for mammals to test whether human disturbance has become more important than climate habitat resources in structuring communities. Location Conterminous United States. Time Period 2010–2021. Major Taxa Studied Twenty‐five mammals. Methods We analysed data from 25 mammal recorded by camera...
Abstract Accurate information about the number of cats living outdoors and how they respond to different kinds management are necessary quell debates outdoor cat policy. The DC Cat Count will develop tools methodologies needed realize this possibility make them available for broader use. This three-year initiative represents a major collaboration between animal welfare organizations wildlife scientists. Its unique innovative approach is use best scientific methods quantify all subpopulations...
Abstract Climate change will affect future hygrothermal performance of buildings. This could lead to higher risks regarding energy optimization, thermal comfort and historic building conservation depending on the local climate, construction retrofit solutions adopted. paper explores brought by climate a typical residential South Tyrol. The results obtained show that, although warming reduce heating demand, an improvement buildings’ still be necessary increase sustainability ensure their...
Abstract Urbanization is increasing globally, fragmenting habitats and prompting human–wildlife conflict. Urban wildlife research concurrently expanding, but sampling methods are often biased towards large intact in public green spaces, neglecting the far more abundant, degraded, urban matrix. Here, we introduce Five P’s of Ecology—Partnerships, Planning, Placements, Public participation Processing—as a path to overcoming logistical barriers associated with camera-trapping Though can be...
