چکیده
Abstract In camera trap studies, attractants may be used to increase detection probabilities of wildlife, which help improve estimates abundance and occupancy. Using a semi-experimental approach, we investigated if commercial, strawberry scented lure increased probability visiting time duration in red fox Vulpes vulpes , the potential reasons for variation these parameters. September 2020, within Stelvio National Park, central Italian Alps, 32 sites were randomly assigned 4 different treatments: 8 commercial lure, target our investigation; orange aroma, test “curiosity” effect; cat kibble, “likability” only, control test. Detection estimated using hurdle negative binomial regression models. Daily was significantly higher with (0.078), aroma (0.086), kibble (0.075) than only (0.031); first day after treatment, an animal spent front cameras (16.61 s) (33.78 compared (9.97 (0.38 s). Our results support use lures visit fox, but could not disentangle drivers parameter estimates. When consumable costs are considered, does appear justified both duration, cheaper alternatives preferable.
