Monitoring cheetahs is imperative for conservation planning, but challenging due to the species' wide range and low detection rates. Combining detection dog surveys and camera traps reduced the effort required to accurately survey the cheetah population. bit.ly/3DOpEoa

This is a great and quick read for people who want a refresher on brevity in scientific writing. Love to see a paper that practices what it preaches! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

How to shorten scientific manuscripts

Many journals have strict word limits, and authors therefore spend considerable time shortening manuscripts. Here, we provide pointers for efficiently doing so while retaining key content. We...

Conservation efforts increasingly use celebrities to try and influence peoples’ #behaviour – especially around #wildlife consumption. A new paper led by @alegriaoc outlines a decision guide created to help improve effectiveness of such initiatives. See: bit.ly/3yx71lO

Do you use #CameraTraps? Have you ever considered how the decision to place the camera in a tree or elsewhere may influence your results? 💭 This study discusses how the precision of detection rates can be improved via clustered and rotating designs 📸 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.14…
