Intrinsic and extrinsic factors drive ontogeny of early-life at-sea behaviour in a marine top predator [PDF]
, 2017 Young animals must learn to forage effectively to survive the transition from parental provisioning to independent feeding. Rapid development of successful foraging strategies is particularly important for capital breeders that do not receive parental ...

Performance evaluation of GPS telemetry for a middle-small mammal
Theory and Applications of GIS, 2004 We evaluated the success rate and accuracy of GPS collar telemetry on a free ranging Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata). Total success rate was 39.7%, and higher in daytime than nighttime. At nighttime, the monkey was resting in the forest. The weakness of GPS signals and deterioration of ephemeris data in the forest environment may have led to the low ...

Design of an underwater telemetry antenna for locating and retrieving submerged radiocollars
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011 Radiocollars represent a significant investment of financial resources, particularly global positioning system (GPS) collars, and loss of data imposes analytical limitations from reduced sample sizes. Radiocollars on large, terrestrial mammals are seldom

Camera trapping as a method for estimating abundance of Mexican wolves
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023 Estimating wildlife abundance, particularly for rare and elusive species, is challenging because of time, cost, and methodological constraints. The Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), a federally‐listed endangered subspecies of gray wolf, is currently ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Developing a data‐transfer model for a novel Wildlife‐tracking network
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 The use of low‐cost, advanced global positioning system (GPS) telemetry devices for wildlife tracking is growing in popularity, especially use of systems that can communicate with each other to track contacts or transfer data.
