Recent explosion of camera trapping (CT) studies represents

a great experiment and challenge in modern wildlife survey

methodology. CT has successfully complemented and

sometimes replaced various survey methods. We evaluated

different research applications SCIENCE and

CONSERVATION that have used CT in three periods: 1956-

1997 (from a previous review), 1998-2008 and 2009-2016 in

different parts of the world, and how its advantages and

disadvantages have changed over time, in order to provide

some insights about the future of CT studies for the

conservation of species.
