Satellite Telemetry and Long-Range Bat Movements
BACKGROUND Understanding the long-distance movement of bats has direct relevance to studies of population dynamics, ecology, disease emergence, and conservation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We developed and trialed several collar and platform terminal transmitter (PTT) combinations on both free-living and captive fruit bats (Family Pteropodidae: Genus Pteropus). We examined transmitter wei...
متن کاملRange and Movements of Female Heaviside’s Dolphins (cephalorhynchus Heavisidii), as Determined by Satellite-linked Telemetry
Heaviside’s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus heavisidii) is a coastal delphinid with a limited inshore distribution off the west coast of southern Africa. Knowledge of its habitat usage is an essential precursor to assessing its potential vulnerability to fisheries interactions. Six Heaviside’s dolphins (1 male and 5 females) were fitted with satellitelinked transmitters in 2004, and tracked for up to ...
متن کاملLong Range Channel Prediction in Aeronautical Telemetry
Long range prediction exploits the principal that the memory span of a predictive filter increases when it samples the input signal at a lower rate. Within the context of a communication system that employs adaptive modulation and coding communication, this implies that by measuring the channel at a rate that is minimally twice the highest Doppler frequency rather than twice the data rate (the ...
متن کاملSynchronous monitoring of vulture movements with satellite telemetry and avian radar
Radar and satellite global positioning system-platform transmitter terminal (GPSPTT) transmitters provide complementary information on the movements and behaviors of individual birds. The GPS-PTT tag provides a snapshot of altitude and location of a specific individual of an identified species at predefined intervals. The history of the individual is known because each transmitter has a unique ...
متن کاملMovements of feral camels in central Australia determined by satellite telemetry
Movements of two female one-humped camels in central Australia were tracked using satellite telemetry between March 1986 and July 1987. During that time both animals travelled a minimum distance of over 1000 km within a radius of 125 km for one animal, and 200 km for the other. However, their movements were quite punctuated and both animals spent periods of up to several months in relatively sm...
