    Where an animal is camera trap shy or camera trap happy, detection probability is compromised and the assumptions of the method cannot be met. Even the study of animal behavior can be compromised if an animal exhibits atypical behavior (Gibeau and McTavish 2009). Attraction of certain species and individuals to our camera traps would confound assumptions of some other population estimators (Table S2) because the device effectively becomes a lure (Foster and Harmsen 2012).

    Wait, they’ve been wiping my memory every time I fly? We didn’t stop them when they shoehorned TSA in the mix, and we didn’t riot against all the new fees & lowered quality, but this? If we don’t come together to stop airlines from all their hypnotic memory wipe stuff, when will we‽

      Lmao, I also read that as airlines, but it’s probably further from that than what that commenter meant. …slightly.

  Maybe you just need to punch the animals so they stop being so happy about it /s
