ABSTRACT Species richness is an important metric used for undertaking conservation management decisions. However, species estimates are influenced by detection probabilities, with potential to entirely overlook during surveys. Occupancy models which account imperfect provide unbiased estimates, ensuring accurate of richness. We carried out a camera trap survey in the mountains north‐central Nepal 2017 and documented total 21 mammal species. Here, we multi‐species occupancy within Bayesian hierarchical framework reassess our initial estimate understand influence environmental covariates on mammals area. Our model estimated mean was ~26 (95% CRI: 21–36 species), suggesting might have missed ~5 survey. The probability were be 0.02 CRI:0.01–0.03) respectively. Mammalian area had anticipated positive relationship tree canopy cover though its anthropogenic disturbance surprising . quadratic elevation as expected. This research contributes baseline information community ecology supports need future multi‐season surveys temporal factors mammalian

Abstract The Endangered dhole Cuon alpinus is a medium-sized canid that was historically distributed widely across East, Central, South and Southeast Asia. In Nepal, following heavy persecution during the 1970s 1980s, species locally extirpated large parts of country. After decades near absence, reportedly showing signs recovery in various areas Nepal. We carried out three surveys using camera traps (resulting total 6,550 camera-trap days), reviewed literature interviewed herders conservation practitioners (40 interviews) to determine historical current distribution dholes country, species’ status. Our recorded five images dholes, review interview survey provided further insights into presence combined findings suggest have recolonized many where they had been extirpated, such as Annapurna Conservation Area central Nepal Tinjure–Milke–Jaljale forests eastern part Although these returns are encouraging, challenges remain for recolonization, including conflict with livestock herders, human hunting wild ungulates affecting prey base, increasing infrastructure development forested areas, diseases.

Understanding species distributions and factors influencing them are important for conservation, particularly occurring in human-dominated areas. The Indian crested porcupine ( Hystrix indica ; hereafter porcupine) is distributed southeast central Asia, however, the occurrence habitat use poorly understood area. We deployed cameras at 154 sites 21 days (3234 trap nights) during December 2022–March 2023 landscape of Parsa-Koshi Complex (PKC), Madesh Province, Nepal. used single season occupancy model to estimate relationship selected covariates with occupancy. identified moderate [0.321 ± 0.079 (SD)] detection probability [0.315 0.076 porcupines. Although was greater protected area than outside areas, positively associated farmland (1.531 1.703) human presence (0.459 0.531), while it declined increasing forest canopy cover (-0.86 0.363). positive effects agricultural areas demonstrate adaptability porcupines humans potential continued conflicts. Based on these baseline data, policy makers wildlife managers can gain insight into pattern aid targeted conservation strategies mitigate human-porcupine conflicts PKC.
