Community Ecology using Cameras and Audio Recorders, August 1st - 21st, 2025.
Assessing animal communities, particularly in the tropics, is often labor intensive and requires a high degree of expertise. Recent technological advances and the increasing applicability of AI have resulted in the ability to use passive monitoring systems such as trail cameras and audio recorders to efficiently and effectively survey animal populations. In addition, the data collected from such systems allow for many additional questions to be addressed. This course will teach students how to use trail cameras and passive acoustic monitoring systems to survey mammals, calling amphibians, and birds. We will compare the recoding devices to observational data. Additionally, we will use the data to explore hypotheses about daily activity patterns, species interactions, and anthropogenic impacts on species activities.
