Synchronous 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 کاملSatellite 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 کاملMonitoring of rain water storage in forests with satellite radar
The sensitivity of radar backscatter to the amount of intercepted rain in temperate deciduous forests is analysed to determine the feasibility of retrieval of this parameter from satellite radar data. A backscatter model is validated with X-band radar measurements of a single tree exposed to rain. A good agreement between simulation and measurements is observed and this demonstrates the ability...
متن کاملVulture population decline, Diclofenac and avian gout
Populations of the Gyps vultures of southern Asian countries have been declining precipitously during the recent past, especially in the western parts of its distributional range. A linkage between the common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ‘Diclofenac’ and the mortality of these vultures was established recently from Pakistan. However, any conclusive evidence on Diclofenac-poisoni...
متن کاملSatellite radar interferometry for mine subsidence monitoring
Australia is one of the world’s leading mineral resource extraction and exporting nations. Underground mining can cause ground surface displacement, which may in turn have serious impacts on the environment or man-built facilities. This paper describes the results of a study into the feasibility of surface subsidence (caused by underground coal mining) monitoring using differential interferomet...
