Discussion
Our study demonstrates that the use of a high-speed camera increases the number of resightings and improves certainty of estimates of demographic parameters. Our analyses showed that HSV provided additional data that increased the number of resightings in our CMR data, improved estimates of resighting and survival probabilities, and reduced the uncertainty around the effect sizes of important covariates such as age and body size. Such improvements can make a big difference in the monitoring of survival rates, recruitment, or population size of wild populations. These findings highlight the importance of integrating HSV in CMR studies as an easy noninvasive tool to track wild populations of various animals including those of conservation concern. Such integration could open doors for various applications on population dynamics surveys of insects, as well as for a wide range of fast and highly mobile animals.
