摘要: Abstract To evaluate trap success among camera types and across species as well assess habitat selection by target carnivore species, we established 16 infrared-triggered stations a 26.9-km2 study area located on primarily Jefferson National Forest land in Virginia. We monitored for 72 days (August to October 2005) total of 891 nights (TN) effort. Overall all animals combined was 40.74 captures per 100 TN. Procyon lotor (raccoon) had the highest predator (2.81/100 TN), followed by: Ursus americanus (black bear, 1.91/100 TN); Lynx rufus (bobcat, 1.46/100 Canis latrans (coyote, 1.01/100 Urocyon cinereoargenteus (gray fox, 0.56/100 TN). Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed deer) overall (21.32/100 Sciurus carolinensis squirrel, 6.17/100 Passive units, especially DeerCam, higher than active digital units (Reconyx) o...
