Wildlife Movement Research: Cost per Data Point
How much is your desired dataset worth? The answer depends on the questions you are asking and the amount of difficulty involved in getting to the answers. To be sure, these data are incredibly valuable to you. It will certainly be valuable to the scientific researchers you may collaborate with, and the institution you are […]
CTT Deploying a Tracker on a Brown Pelilcan
Take a look at a recent deployment project we contributed to. (Ours is the one with no external antenna!) If you’re a Wildlife Biologist, and you want to see the data from this bird for yourself, let us know when you’re available for a quick chat. We’ll send you a 32GB USB3 thumb drive with […]
CTT® FLIGHTMODE™ DUTY CYCLE EXPANDS TO NEW SPECIES
This year, we have expanded the species for which our pioneering CTT® FlightMode™ duty cycle is compatible. Since the spring of 2017, we have been working closely with PhD student Randy Knapik (Michigan State University) to roll out and test FlightMode™ for Mute Swans (Cygnus olor).
