Fig. 1. Study areas. Location of the study areas (in provinces of Lapland (1), Northern Ostrobothnia (2), and North Karelia (3)), the peatlands where camera traps were deployed in 2020 and 2021. The maps were drawn using R-packages ggplot2 (Wickham, 2016) and ggmap (Kahle and Wickham, 2013) with map tiles by Stamen Design, under CC BY 3.0 (data by OpenStreetMap, under ODbL). The inset map was drawn using Natural Earth map data.
Fig. 2. Taiga bean geese captured with a PIR sensor triggered camera in Pirttilammit, North Karelia, in 2021.
Fig. 3. Conditional effects of a) year and b) trigger type on the number of taiga bean geese captured with game camera traps on peatland ponds in Finland between 2020 and 2021. The difference was significant between years (p <0.001) but not significant between trigger types (p = 0.129).
Fig. 4. Conditional effects of a) year, b) trigger type, and c) camera effort on the capture probability of taiga bean geese photographed with game camera traps. The difference was significant between years (p <0.001) and marginally significant between trigger types (p = 0.049). The amount of camera effort had a significant positive effect on capture probability (p <0.001).
