Automatic radiotelemetry system: new technology in ecological field studies
Original language description
Until now only large animals (greater than 300 g) could be followed in large temporal and spatial scales because of power and size constraints on the tracking devices. However, the vast majority of animals are small. Tracking small animals is important because they are often models in ecological experiments and are important bioindicators as well. Small animal tracking would allow the quantitative assessment of dispersal and migration in natural populations. Here we propose a small animal automatic radiotracking system using 1.5 g transmitters that would enable the monitoring of small birds, bats or rodents. The technique enables simultaneous tracking of several tens of individuals and could be applied in repeated studies of spatial activity and dispersal. The system is based on network of stationary stations operating on the basis of Doppler Radio Direction Finding that can automatically monitor up to 50 different frequencies, i.e. 50 independent transmitters.
