An evaluation of transmitter effects on adult and juvenile Common Terns using leg-loop harness attachments

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022
Marking birds with transmitters allows for the collection of data that are critical for fully understanding avian life history, but researchers must also be confident that performing such studies is as safe as possible for transmittered individuals ...

No effect of carrying a leg-loop harness mounted radio transmitter on flight energy expenditure of a small migratory songbird

Journal of Field Ornithology
Radio transmitters and other miniature electronic devices have greatly enhanced our understanding of avian ecology. However, from both animal welfare and data integrity perspectives, it is crucial to determine if tracking devices adversely affect birds ...

Effect of harness design for tag attachment on the flight performance of five soaring species [PDF]

Movement Ecology, 2023
Background Bio-logging devices play a fundamental and indispensable role in movement ecology studies, particularly in the wild. However, researchers are aware of the influence that attaching devices can have on animals, particularly on their behaviour ...

A comparison of methods for the long-term harness-based attachment of radio-transmitters to juvenile Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

Animal Biotelemetry, 2021
Background While the period from fledging through first breeding for waterbird species such as terns (e.g., genus Sterna, Sternula) is of great interest to researchers and conservationists, this period remains understudied due in large part to the ...

An evaluation of transmitter effects on the return rate of adult and juvenile Common Terns to a breeding colony

Journal of Field Ornithology
Advancements in technology have facilitated a rapid expansion in the range of species for which tracking studies can be implemented. Such efforts often require unique attachment methods or materials for which careful evaluation is required to fully ...

An allometric function to fit leg‐loop harnesses to terrestrial birds

Journal of Avian Biology, 2007
Harnesses are indispensable for a long‐term attachment of instruments to animals, particularly birds. The exact fit is crucial for both the reliability of the tags and the animals’ health and natural behaviour. Using data from 19 bird species ranging from 8–400 g, I present an allometric function to calculate the dimension of leg‐loop harnesses for ...
