Accurate estimation and monitoring of wildlife population trends is foundational to evidence-based conservation. Here, we use hierarchical modelling to estimate population trends for six species of management interest (coyotes; red foxes, white-tailed deer, gray foxes; eastern wild turkey, and bobcats) while accounting for observation error from a long-term camera trap survey conducted across the State of New York. We were able to detect population level trends in occurrence and abundance and produce spatially explicit predictions for all six species using a combination of single-species occupancy models and Royle-Nichols models. Coyote (mean λ = 1.22, 95 % CI = 0.85–1.82) and red fox (mean λ = 1.17, 95 % CI = 0.95–1.46) populations were widely distributed with stable populations across the sampling period from 2014 to 2021. White-tailed deer populations were highly abundant and displayed an increasing population trend (mean λ = 1.85, 95 % CI = 1.54–2.10). Eastern wild turkey occupancy remained low across the state despite displaying a slight increase in occupancy over the sampling period (mean ψ = 0.16, 95 % CI = 0.07–0.25). Gray fox occupancy was also low (mean ψ = 0.22, 95 % CI = 0.12–0.29), consistent with growing concerns over the species across North America. Despite recent recoveries elsewhere, bobcat populations in New York State displayed very low occupancy (mean ψ = 0.07, 95 % CI = 0.02–0.12), highlighting the necessity of monitoring to inform conservation action. We provide empirically supported management implications for each species and demonstrate the efficacy of long-term camera trapping to provide robust evidence on population trends while accounting for imperfect detections, over scales meaningful to species management and conservation.
