Download Density estimates and camera trap detection probabilities for Bennett’s wallaby and dama wallaby

Knowledge of detection probabilities and surveillance sensitivities of surveillance tools allow you to determine how much surveillance is required to confidently determine if wallabies are absent from an area. This research aims to show whether trail camera traps are an effective and affordable way to confirm whether wallabies are no longer present in an area. If camera traps are proven to be effective, then it gives us confidence in declaring wallaby elimination when no animals are detected. Knowledge of density estimates aid in future cost vs. benefit analysis that seek to quantify the costs of the damage caused by wallabies at high densities.
