Buyaskas 2020: Bait + lure best for pine marten & fisher

(2020) found that lures alone yield lower detection rates for some carnivores (e.g., mustelids) than when coupled with bait. These researchers note, however, that lure degradation may be a factor here—a concern that, as mentioned above, is addressed by the automated scent dispenser.

However, baits and lures do increase the risk of attracting certain species, which may then artificially inflate their numbers/activity while repelling other species.

This study aimed to test whether the usage of different attractants, i.e., glandular secretions (scent lure) and tuna (food bait), increase the visiting rate of mustelids at camera traps, with a special focus on stone marten (Martes foina) and pine marten (Martes martes), which are our target ...

Film development under these conditions can become rather expensive, whereas digital · cards do not require development and can be reviewed in the field on a laptop computer ...

Detection bias: Trail cameras may miss animals if they are placed improperly or if animals happen to avoid the cameras altogether. Food bait is sometimes used to encourage pine martens to a camera site, for example when bib images are required ...
