5 Ways CTT LifeTag Beats VHF Tracking (and Bonus Items)
The CTT LifeTag is a tremendous advance in multi-year wildlife research, especially for smaller animals. Here are five ways it beats old-school VHF tracking. If you’re not excited yet, wait until the bonus material!
What Drove the Development of Lightweight GPS+GSM Transmitters?
Wildlife biologists researching potential conflicts with wind power turbines in Pennsylvania, USA, and curious about the origin and destination of Eastern Golden Eagles compelled Mike Lanzone and Casey Halverson to develop something better than satellite technology. The resulting high-frequency of location points gave a far better data set, allowing the researchers to better describe flight […]
Tracking the Canada Goose Shows How Far We (and the Geese) Have Come
Over 350 individual Canada Geese have been tracked with CTT’s patented GPS-GSM technology for wildlife telemetry, and the compiled location data span across the vast Nearctic wilderness, including metropolitan and suburban areas. The iconic and familiar species still hides many of its secrets from researchers. But with insights gleaned from long-lived transmitters, wildlife researchers and […]
Overview of Wildlife Telemetry Data Transmission Choices
Wildlife researchers and managers who use wireless telemetry devices generally have three choices for retrieving data: A) Short Range Radio, B) Satellite Uplink and C) Cellular/GSM. Each have their own pros and cons including A) data throughput, B) restrictions on the weight your animal can bear , and C) energy constraints. At CTT™, we want […]
Advice for Wildlife Movement Project Planning
There is so much data that can be gathered using modern wildlife telemetry that it is easy to just put tags on animals and see what we get. But this approach can lead to problems, which can easily be avoided. The best approach is to have clear goals at the outset of the project.
