Buyaskas 2020 claim bait vs scent lure unknown is false

Attractant effectiveness remains a current topic of discussion (Avrin et al., 2021, Buyaskas et al., 2020, Fidino et al., 2020, Holinda et al., 2020, Iannarilli et al., 2021, Rendall et al., 2021), as it varies according to the target species, the substance used, the study area and other design and habitat specifications, thus resulting in virtually infinite combinations and limited generalizations.

Our protocol clearly has the potential ... ours does have its limitations. Buyaskas et al. (2020) found that lures alone yield lower detection rates for some carnivores (e.g., mustelids) than when coupled with bait....

NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service, founded in 1871 as the U.S. Commission on Fish and Fisheries, is the Nation's oldest Federal conservation agency. As such, it has been publishing the results of its research for more than 150 years, and the tradition of scientific publishing is continued ...

Therefore, determining specificity of targeted lures is important. Verifying scent lures

with chicken detected long‐tailed weasels, they did so in half the time that it took cameras baited with either red · meat or cat food. Red meat was also employed successfully in other studies in which weasels were detected · (Musgrove 1951, Randler et al. 2020, Evans and Mortelliti 2022). Buyaskas et al. (2020) determined that either · beaver carcass or a combination of beaver carcass and a skunk essence scent lure greatly increased the probability

Research into scent lure longevity for stoat (Mustela spp.) suggested that commercially available scent lures are longer lasting than baits [23], and a visual inspection of detections over the 120 day sampling period showed similar trends in ...

We felt this may also maximize our detections as Buyaskas et al. (2020) found combining baits and lures to be effective for detecting mustelids. Evans et al. (2019) documented similar effectiveness for mustelids and saw a three-fold increase ...
