Contributing Benchmarks

OptimalRange Primary Point Guard

Evidence & Context

The optimal range is approximately 25–40 detections/100 trap-nights.

Metric Definition:

Camera Trap Detection Rate (CTR) of ground fauna

Benchmark Definition:

This benchmark defines the range of detection rates indicating a high diversity of native species and balanced abundance in a well-managed tropical island grazing landscape.

Justification:

Represents the ecological state of a well-managed landscape where key threats are controlled, analogous to the faunal community of Bathurst Island.
