Alaska Range Dall's Sheep & Alpine Mammal Community
We captured over two million camera trap images via motion and timelapse triggering in a treeless alpine environment. From these photos we had over 8,000 detections of Dall’s sheep, successfully field testing both the use of camera traps to study a mountain sheep species and the use of timelapse imagery to model the occupancy of multiple mammal species.
Spatiotemporal Habitat Use of an Alpine Mammal Community
We were able to study multiple trophic levels of the Alaskan alpine mammal community using a combination of motion-triggered and timelapse camera trap images. Using these data we used single and two-species occupancy models to analyze the habitat use of two apex predators, two mesopredators, three large herbivores, and three small herbivores.
