Camera trapping in ecology: A new section for wildlife research

small- scale auteco-logical studies and large- scale syntheses. This journal's philosophy is to help authors have their work read and used by the scientific community— we believe this Section will help with that goal. Ecology and Evolution 's first volume featured its first camera-trapping study (Fisher et al., 2011), a paper desk- rejected from several other journals as being “interesting but improbable” among other traditional fare. The Editorial team gave it a chance, and over 100 citations later, it continues to stimulate scientific debate (Stuber & Fontaine, 2019 ). Since then, we have published 100 s of camera-trap studies. We are eagerly anticipating many more camera- trap papers in this dedicated Section, as Ecology and Evolution plans to be at the forefront of the great proliferation of camera- trapping research, and continue to serve as a platform for scientific thought and debate.
