Lightweight GPS-tags, one giant leap for wildlife tracking? An assessment approach
Submitted by susan on Mon, 2011-12-12 11:58
Recent technological improvements have made possible the development of lightweight GPS-tagging devices suitable to track medium-to-small sized animals. However, current inferences concerning GPS performance are based on heavier designs, suitable only for large mammals. Lightweight GPS-units are deployed close to the ground, on species selecting micro-topographical features and with different behavioural patterns in comparison to larger mammal species.
