Background:

Traditional live traps can result in non-target captures and injuries to captured animals.
Remote operation of traps is often limited, posing risks to researchers.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel radio-controlled live trap for wildlife capture.
To assess the advantages of this new trapping technology for research and conservation.

Main Methods:

Construction of a live trap utilizing radio-controlled net-dropping mechanism.
Field testing to assess species selectivity, capture efficiency, and animal welfare.
Evaluation of remote operation capabilities.

Main Results:
