Bear scat.
When looking for a place to set up a capture location, biologists look for existing bear sign such as scratches on trees and bear scat. Sometimes traps are set in areas that have no obvious bear sign to determine if indeed bears are present.

Glacial fed alpine stream in Glacier National Park.
Glacial fed alpine stream in Glacier National Park.Scientists sample for alpine insects in streams like this near Blackfoot Glacier in Glacier National Park. Alpine streams environments in the northern Rocky Mountains are especially vulnerable to climate change due to rapid warming resulting in loss of glaciers and snowpack.

Western glacier stonefly on a snowy backdrop in Glacier National ParkA glacier stonefly (Zapada glacier) on a snowy backdrop in Glacier National Park. The species is threatened by climate warming induced glacier and snow loss and has been petitioned for protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act due to climate-change-induced habitat loss.

Floating surface collector for fish on North Fork Lewis River, WA
Floating surface collector for fish on North Fork Lewis River, WAA floating surface collector in the Swift Reservoir on the North Fork Lewis River, WA. A floating surface collector attracts and collects juvenile fish before they pass through a dam so they can be held for transport past the dam via barge or truck.
