The Design Factor
Wildlife telemetry devices are an incredible aid to your project. So long as you can get them in time, they are easy to activate, they are reliable, and the data is presented well. Design is key in all these areas. A wildlife telemetry device’s design impacts the level of time needed to manufacture them and […]
Is Telemetry Product Availability Causing Your Project Problems?
What does it mean for your songbird biology research, wildlife consulting or wildlife management project when a telemetry device manufacturer can’t make your timeline? Lost time can mean, for graduate students in particular, the project may never get completed. Not a strong way to start your career.
The Perfect Telemetry Device for Small Birds?
There have been some incredible advances in the electronic tracking devices used in wildlife research. Telemetry devices have shrunk in weight, for sure, but there are trade-offs to realize the weight advantages. What would you need to see to call the tracking devices you’d likely use in your next project ideal? Here are some points […]
