Sea turtles are slow-maturing animals that are known to make long transoceanic migrations, even returning back to their natal beaches. However, until very recently, the only knowledge of these journeys was available through the tracking of flipper tags when mature females ventured onto land to nest. Conservation organizations and governments have been monitoring these species for a number of ye...

The Blue-throated Macaw (Ara glaucogularis) is a Critically Endangered species endemic to the Llanos de Moxos ecosystem of Beni, Bolivia. To aid conservation northwestern population that utilizes Barba Azul Nature Reserve during non-breeding season, we set out learn sites where these birds breed using satellite telemetry. We describe preliminary tests conducted on captive (at Loro Parque Founda...

Non-invasive cardiac monitoring has well-established indications and protocols. Telemetry is often overused leading to a shortage of tele-beds and an increment of hospital expenses. In some cases, patients are kept on telemetry longer than the indicated length because providers are unaware of its ongoing use. We investigated the effect of reminder pop-ups, incorporated into an electronic medica...

This paper presents the initial results of research suggesting a concept of taking an advantage of known GIS information, primarily the ground elevation contour, to enhance the performance of satellite positioning systems in terms of improved availability and positioning accuracy. Recent advances of laser telemetry allow nowadays very accurate measurements of the Earth’s elevation down to sub-m...

Stable isotope analysis is a useful tool to track animal movements in both terrestrial and marine environments. These intrinsic markers are assimilated through the diet and may exhibit spatial gradients as a result of biogeochemical processes at the base of the food web. In the marine environment, maps to predict the spatial distribution of stable isotopes are limited, and thus determining geog...

Telemetry networks often operate in challenged wireless environments, resulting in periods of disconnection. Our delay tolerant networking (DTN) gateway dynamically detects disruptions in connectivity and buffers telemetry data until connectivity is reestablished. When the connection is resumed, all buffered data is transmitted automatically in order to backfill any gaps in the telemetry stream...
