An open-source hardware GPS data logger for wildlife radio-telemetry studies: A case study using Eastern box turtles

HardwareX, 2018
Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry technology has been a boon to animal spatial ecology studies. Oftentimes, the main limitation to widespread application of this technology is the cost, which can dictate the number of individuals outfitted with ...

Linking GPS Telemetry Surveys and Scat Analyses Helps Explain Variability in Black Bear Foraging Strategies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Studying diet is fundamental to animal ecology and scat analysis, a widespread approach, is considered a reliable dietary proxy. Nonetheless, this method has weaknesses such as non-random sampling of habitats and individuals, inaccurate evaluation of ...

Using step selection functions to analyse human mobility using telemetry data in infectious disease epidemiology: a case study of leptospirosis [PDF]

eLife
Background: Human movement plays a critical role in the transmission of infectious diseases, especially those with environmental drivers like leptospirosis—a zoonotic bacterial infection linked to mud and water contact.

Backpack satellite transmitters reduce survival but not nesting propensity or success of greater sage‐grouse

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Telemetry technology is ubiquitous for studying the behavior and demography of wildlife, including the use of traditional very high frequency (VHF) radio telemetry and more recent methods that record animal locations using global positioning systems (GPS)

Tracking crocodylia: a review of telemetry studies on movements and spatial use

Animal Biotelemetry, 2023
Crocodylians are top predators that play key ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems. As in other groups of large predators, crocodylian populations are often impacted by habitat loss, habitat degradation or direct exploitation for commercial purposes or ...

Flight heights obtained from GPS versus altimeters influence estimates of collision risk with offshore wind turbines in Lesser Black-backed Gulls Larus fuscus

Movement Ecology, 2023
The risk posed by offshore wind farms to seabirds through collisions with turbine blades is greatly influenced by species-specific flight behaviour.

Field testing a novel high residence positioning system for monitoring the fine‐scale movements of aquatic organisms [PDF]

, 2018
1. Acoustic telemetry is an important tool for studying the behaviour of aquatic organisms in the wild. 2. VEMCO high residence (HR) tags and receivers are a recent introduction in the field of acoustic telemetry and can be paired with existing ...

Using GPS telemetry to validate least-cost modeling of gray squirrel ( Sciurus carolinensis) movement within a fragmented landscape [PDF]

, 2013
In Britain, the population of native red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris has suffered population declines and local extinctions. Interspecific resource competition and disease spread by the invasive gray squirrel Sciurus carolinensis are the main factors ...

Identifying and correcting spatial bias in opportunistic citizen science data for wild ungulates in Norway

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Many publications make use of opportunistic data, such as citizen science observation data, to infer large‐scale properties of species’ distributions. However, the few publications that use opportunistic citizen science data to study animal ecology at a ...
