Area of Science:

  • Wildlife Biology
  • Bioacoustics
  • Animal Sensory Ecology

Background:

  • Camera traps are widely used for wildlife research and monitoring.
  • Variability in camera trap models and methods exists.
  • Animal responses to camera trap emissions are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the audio and infrared optical outputs of camera traps.
  • To determine if mammals can perceive camera trap emissions (sound and light).

Main Methods:

  • Laboratory-based investigations of 12 camera trap models.
  • Measurement of audio, ultrasonic, and infrared illumination outputs.
  • Comparison with known perceptive hearing and vision ranges of mammal species.

Main Results:

  • Camera traps produce sounds within the perceptive hearing range of most mammals.
  • Camera traps emit infrared illumination visible to many mammal species.

Conclusions:

  • Camera trap emissions are detectable by a wide range of mammal species.
  • Further research is needed to understand and mitigate animal disturbance from camera traps.
