Measuring uncertainty in DOA-based signal localization
The QRAAT (”Quail Ridge Automated Animal Tracking”) system provides ecologists and animal biologists with high resolution animal tracking data. It is comprised of a network of radio receivers deployed across the Quail Ridge Reserve in Napa County, California, and uses radio telemetry to simultaneously track a variety of animals including small field mice, birds, and foxes. QRAAT improves the st...
متن کاملNew GPS technology improves fix success for large mammal collars in dense tropical forests
There have been few telemetry studies on large and medium-sized mammals from Neotropical lowland forests. This can partly be explained by the difficulty of tracking animals with radio-telemetry in these forests, often in remote areas with poor access due to limited transportation infrastructure. Researchers have been forced to follow their collared animals by aeroplane (Crawshaw 1995, Fragoso 1...
متن کاملEvaluation of Automated Radio Telemetry for Quantifying Movements and Home Ranges of Snakes
—We evaluated an automated telemetry system that can dramatically increase the amount of activity and spatial data collected for snakes. We developed methods for analyzing data from single automated receiving units (ARUs) and ARU arrays, compared results from ARUs with conventional hand tracking, and assessed previously untested assumptions used in conventional telemetry, using data from ratsna...

Two groups of pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea) were rescued along the left bank of the Madeira River during the formation of Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Dam reservoir in the state of Rondônia, Northern Brazil. Reintroduction of both groups occurred in areas of open Tropical rainforest located within the project´s Permanent Preservation Area. A post-release monitoring was conducted for three mo...
متن کاملCombining Spatial and Telemetric Features for Learning Animal Movement Models
We introduce a new graphical model for tracking radio-tagged animals and learning their movement patterns. The model provides a principled way to combine radio telemetry data with an arbitrary set of userdefined, spatial features. We describe an efficient stochastic gradient algorithm for fitting model parameters to data and demonstrate its effectiveness via asymptotic analysis and synthetic ex...
