On Friday 22nd April, the David Attenborough Building Stats Club will be meeting to discuss approaches to analysing camera trap data. This is a broad field, and camera traps are becoming ubiquitous among many projects, but there is often a lot of uncertainty and confusion about what questions can be addressed, what assumptions are reasonable, and what models to use to analyse camera trapping data.
A recent paper by Beaudrot et al, 2015, which has a robust analysis of a large dataset, is going to be used as a starting point for the discussion in the meeting. For those not able to attend the meeting on Friday, perhaps this could serve as a way to kick off a simultaneous discussion here on WILDLABS.NET?
For those in Cambridge, we will be meeting on Friday at 1pm in the Common Room of the David Attenborough Building.

Hi Steph,
Only just discovered this site, so I'm a bit late to the game.
I'd love to hear what your main take-aways were from this meeting!
Best,
Louise

Hi Louise,
Welcome! Unfortunately, an uncomfortably busy calendar meant I ended up missing this gathering. However, I'm sure that @SteffenOppel @Tomswinfield or @ali+johnston (I think you were all involved?) might be kind enough to jump in here and share some of their key take aways from this discussion?
Steph
