Placing bait in a strategic location to attract wildlife, where they can then be observed or captured for study.

Training dogs to assist in detecting wildlife or their scat for population studies and research on species distribution.

The use of aircraft or drones to count and monitor wildlife populations over large areas, often used for migratory or marine species.

The study of feces to gain information about the diet, health, and identity of animals, as well as information about the local ecosystem.

The use of GPS-enabled collars to track animal movements and behaviors through satellite data, often used for large mammals.

The process of identifying and interpreting the tracks, scat, and other signs left by animals to infer their presence and behavior.

Monitoring the areas adjacent to rivers and streams for signs of wildlife to understand habitat use and ecological health.

A method that collects hair samples from wildlife, usually by using a specialized trap or sticky surface, for DNA analysis and species identification.

Utilizing an ethogram, which is a catalog of behaviors, to systematically record the behaviors of animals for studies of social structure and communication.

Observing and recording data on the use of nesting sites to gather information on breeding success and population trends.

Recording and analyzing sounds produced by wildlife, useful for studying species that are difficult to observe directly.

Using infrared cameras to detect heat emitted from wildlife, assisting in identifying animals in the dark or in dense cover.

A tracking method that uses radio transmitters to send signals to a receiver, allowing researchers to determine an animal's location.

Analyzing footprints to determine the species, size, sex, and sometimes even the health or behavior of the animal.

The action of watching animals in their natural habitat without interference to gather data on behavior, for species counts, and interaction studies.

A method that involves capturing animals, marking them in a harmless way, releasing them, and then recapturing to estimate population size.

Automatic cameras triggered by motion or heat to capture images of wildlife for population counts, behavior studies, and individual identification.

Collecting feathers for genetic, toxicology, and dietary analysis to aid in bird species and population studies.

Analyzing images from satellites for large-scale studies of habitat change, migration patterns, and to track large herds of animals.
