wildlife research
Fauna field science
Wildlife research involves systematic study of wild animals and their ecosystems, often using specialized methods like camera traps to monitor elusive species or radio telemetry to track movements.
It frequently includes population surveys, such as mark-recapture techniques to estimate numbers, and genetic analysis to assess biodiversity or identify subspecies.
Researchers may also investigate human impacts, like habitat fragmentation, and develop strategies for species reintroduction or poaching prevention.
The team used GPS collars to study the migration patterns of elk.
