1. Arboreal camera trapping is a burgeoning method providing a novel and effective technique to answer research questions across a variety of ecosystems, and it has the capacity to improve our understanding of a wide range of taxa. However, while terrestrial camera trapping has received much attention, there is little guidance for dealing with the unique challenges of working in the arboreal realm.
2. Our review draws on the expertise of researchers from six continents and the broader literature to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of arboreal camera trapping, and challenges to consider when using this technology. We also include mini-guides with detailed information on the current arboreal camera trap literature, mounts used to install arboreal cameras, tree climbing pointers and safety tips, methods for deploying cameras without climbing, and tips for managing interference with camera function.
3. We find that arboreal camera traps have been most commonly used in the study of mammals in forests; however, there is potential for this method to be applied to a broad range of habitats including urban areas, and taxa such as birds, amphibians, invertebrates, and plants. Methods in arboreal camera trapping could be improved by developing a greater understanding of the factors affecting detection of species. The most common challenges of arboreal camera trapping are camera placement and camera site access. These can be overcome by understanding correct camera orientation, managing potential sources of interference in front of cameras, utilizing appropriate cameras mounts and training researchers properly.
4. Given the benefits and opportunities presented by arboreal camera trapping, it is likely to become an ever-more popular method of studying arboreal species and systems. The information synthesized in this review provides guidance for future studies to help direct more reliable and robust ecological inferences from arboreal camera trapping.

树栖相机诱捕的潜力与实践

1. 树栖相机诱捕是一种新兴的方法，它提供了一种新颖有效的技术来回答各种生态系统的研究问题，它有能力提高我们对广泛分类群的理解。然而，虽然地面相机诱捕受到了很多关注，但几乎没有关于应对在树栖领域工作的独特挑战的指导。
2. 我们的评论利用来自六大洲的研究人员的专业知识和更广泛的文献来调查树栖相机诱捕的优缺点，以及使用该技术时要考虑的挑战。我们还包括迷你指南，其中包含有关当前树栖相机陷阱文献的详细信息、用于安装树栖相机的支架、爬树指针和安全提示、无需攀爬即可部署相机的方法以及管理相机功能干扰的技巧。
3. 我们发现树栖相机陷阱最常用于研究森林中的哺乳动物；然而，这种方法有可能应用于广泛的栖息地，包括城市地区和鸟类、两栖动物、无脊椎动物和植物等分类群。通过深入了解影响物种检测的因素，可以改进树栖相机捕获的方法。树栖相机诱捕的最常见挑战是相机放置和相机站点访问。这些可以通过了解正确的相机方向、管理相机前的潜在干扰源、使用适当的相机支架和正确培训研究人员来克服。
4. 鉴于树栖相机诱捕带来的好处和机会，它很可能成为研究树栖物种和系统的一种越来越流行的方法。本综述中综合的信息为未来的研究提供了指导，以帮助指导从树栖相机诱捕中进行更可靠和稳健的生态推断。
