Several methods exist for analysis of camera trap data to estimate
animal abundance. Use of distance sampling theory for analysis of camera
trap data does not require identification of individual animals to
estimate abundance, making it applicable to a much larger set of
species. This live online workshop, through lectures and computer
exercises, provides training in survey design and the analysis of camera
trap data to produce abundance estimates. The workshop lasts 4 days,
but is delivered over a 5-day period (27-31 October) to allow time for
self-study.
The workshop is organized by the Centre for Research into Ecological and
Environmental Modelling (CREEM) at the University of St Andrews.
Instructors are:
Eric Howe, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry,
Samantha Strindberg, Wildlife Conservation Society,
Len Thomas, CREEM, University of St Andrews,
Noemie Cappelle, Biotope, and
Steve Buckland, CREEM, University of St Andrews
Registration is UK£335 and the registration deadline is 15th May 2023.
There is one free place available as part of our widening participation
scholarship programme (deadline for applications 8th April) - see the
web site below.
For more details and to register, please see the workshop web site
https://workshops.distancesampling.org/ctds-may-2024
A note on timing. The live component of the workshop will run from
11:00-14:00 UK time (British Summer Time). This timing is designed to
suit participants from Europe, Africa and Asia, and get as close we can
to working for participants in Oceania. It is also manageable for those
from Eastern America. If you are keen on attending but the workshop
time is not compatible with you, please email
<len.t...@st-andrews.ac.uk>. If there is sufficient interest we may
run a workshop later in the year starting later in the (UK) day.
We also teach other workshops from time to time on distance
sampling-related topics - for more information please see
https://workshops.distancesampling.org/
Lastly, we have a free online recorded training workshop introducing
distance sampling at https://workshops.distancesampling.org/online-course/
