Resumen
Como muchos biólogos interesados en monitorear o estudiar mamíferos medianos y grandes, en estado silvestre, me he enfrentado a las clásicas preguntas como: ¿Cuántas cámaras necesito?, ¿Qué cámara compramos?, ¿Cómo las instalo? ¿Qué protocolos sigo? ¿Y qué más puedo hacer con esos datos? En esta corta revisión pretendo resumir las respuestas a esas preguntas y compartir mi experiencia como usuario de las trampas cámara, después de haber probado varias opciones. Las recomendaciones son para antes, durante y después de usar las cámaras.
