Abstract

In our recently published study in Conservation, Science, and Practice (Moore et al., 2023), we compared new (camera trap) and conventional (live trap) monitoring designs in terms of cost and statistical power for tracking changes in occupancy of the endangered northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus), a marsupial predator native to northern Australia (Oakwood et al.,2016). Results indicated that the optimal camera trap monitoring designs detected a reduction in northern quoll occupancy of 30%, 50%, and 80% at a substantially reduced cost compared to the optimal live trap design, without sacrificing statistical power (Figure 1).
