Combining detection dogs and camera traps improves minimally invasive population monitoring for the cheetah, an elusive and rare large carnivore by Stijn Verschueren, Tim Hofmann, Anne Schmidt‐Küntzel, Mikael Kakove, Benny Munyandi, Hans Bauer, Niko Balkenhol, Herwig Leirs, Stephan Neumann, Bogdan Cristescu, Laurie Marker

“…We analysed detection data in an occupancy framework and estimated the effort required to confirm cheetah presence with 95% certainty. We found that sign surveys required intensive field effort when walked as road transects, but detections of scat by the detection dogs were twice that of tracks (5/100 and 2.5/100 km, respectively, 7.5/100 km combined). …”
