Camera Trap Detection Rate
Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
The scoring engine could not generate a curve for this benchmark context. The primary form is CompositeFramework, but the benchmark data may be missing required fields (e.g., optimal range bounds for an OptimalRange benchmark). This is typically a data quality issue in the benchmark pipeline.
Contributing Benchmarks
Evidence & Context
Based on this evidence of successful suppression, the benchmark for a managed invasive predator is set at <0.3 detections / 100 trap-nights for red fox (Vulpes vulpes).
Camera Trap Detection Rate (CTR), expressed as the number of independent detection events per 100 trap-nights.
This benchmark represents the maximum acceptable camera trap detection rate for invasive red foxes in arid mountain conservation areas, indicating successful suppression to very low population levels.
This value represents a population maintained at very low levels, effectively mitigating its impact as a key threatening process.
