Camera traps\u00a0are increasingly used to study wildlife ecology and inform conservation, but valid inference depends on appropriate\u00a0data analysis. Camera-trap data\u00a0consist of species, station and occasion-specific detections, but both accumulation curves and capture\u2013recapture-type estimators ignore the spatial component of the data, thereby losing interesting information on how richness may vary within a study area.<\/p>\n

Students undertaking MSc. Ecosystems Science and Management<\/a>, and MSc. Forestry<\/a> in the Department of Ecosystems and Conservation<\/a> from the Sokoine University of Agriculture<\/a> attended practical training on the analysis of field data from the camera traps at the Udzungwa Ecological Monitoring Centre<\/a>. The training was based on proper techniques using R-statistical software for systematic analysis.<\/p>\n

This training was offered under the CONTAN project<\/a>. The\u00a0CONTAN project<\/a>\u00a0is an Erasmus + Capacity-building project in the field of higher education\u201cDeveloping curricula for biodiversity monitoring and conservation in Tanzania\u201d.<\/p>\n
