Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of different camera trap sampling designs for monitoring giant pandas in Changqing National Nature Reserve, highlighting how design impacts results.
- Climate factors and proximity to roads positively influence panda occupancy, while slope and forest cover negatively affect it.
- Both sampling schemes showed low detection probabilities, suggesting the need for improved designs that consider local conditions and spatial variability in future panda monitoring efforts.
