The potential value of camera-trap studies for identifying , ageing , sexing and studying the phenology of Bornean Lophura pheasants

Furthermore, lack of familiarity with juvenile and immature plumages and moult phenology hampers the documentation of demographic trends. Although habitat and altitudinal information associated with camera-trapping (or field sightings) may provide ecological clues for the identification of Bornean Lophura pheasants, these data should be used with caution, as little is known about their habitat use and preferences and the extent of overlap between species (Madge & McGowan 2002, Myers 2010, Table 1). Here we review an extensive collection of camera-trap images and videos as well as museum specimens of these taxa with the objective of providing an overview of morphological identification features, plumage descriptions, descriptions of moult patterns and new phenological information in order to aid future studies.
