TL;DR: It is concluded that a substantial improvement in the quality of model predictions can be achieved if uneven sampling effort is taken into account, thereby improving the efficacy of species conservation planning.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global analysis of available pangolin data from camera trapping studies across their range in Africa and Asia was conducted to assess the utility of existing camera trapping efforts as a method for monitoring pangoline populations, and to gain insights into the distribution and ecology of pangolins.

Predicted distributions and conservation status of two threatened Southeast Asian small carnivores: the banded civet and Hose’s civet
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used accurately recorded occurrence records and ecological niche modelling to predict the distribution of two threatened and poorly known small carnivore species that occur in Southeast Asia, the banded civet (Hemigalus derbyanus) and Hose's cives (Diplogale hosei), and analyzed their spatial niche differentiation for habitat and elevation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used MaxEnt niche distribution modeling to make predictions regarding the current distribution of the Sunda clouded leopard on Borneo, and highlighted the priority areas for the conservation of the leopard in Bornea based on their predicted distribution.
How useful are transect surveys for studying carnivores in the tropical rainforests of Borneo
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the conservation value of transect surveys, underlying assumptions in using different approaches, and why these assumptions cannot often be met in the study of Bornean carnivores.
