Application possibilities of remote sensing cameras in examination of mammals JÓZSEF LANSZKI In this study possible applications of remote sensing cameras as useful tools in mammal research was overviewed. Remote-trip cameras are ideal for identifying the species (occasinally individuals) living in a particular area, for monitoring relative or (in certain cases) absolute abundance of species, for studying activity patterns and for wildlife management. These devices have also been used to address a wide variety of ecological and conservation-related questions.
