Abstract

The article focuses on the effects of altitude and season on the deployment of camera traps for monitoring medium- to large-sized mammals in the Gongga Mountains, a biodiversity hotspot in Southwest China. The study found that optimal monitoring strategies involve increasing the number of cameras and extending the sampling duration during the dry season, while at lower elevations, fewer cameras and shorter sampling periods are sufficient. Additionally, the research emphasizes the importance of considering factors such as human disturbance and microhabitat features when selecting camera trap sites to enhance the accuracy of species detection. Overall, the findings aim to improve wildlife monitoring practices and contribute to conservation efforts in high-mountain regions. [Extracted from the article]
