Wind tunnels allow researchers to investigate animals' flight under controlled conditions, and provide easy access to the animals during flight. These increasingly popular devices can benefit integrative migration biology by allowing us to explore the links between aerodynamic theory and migration as well as the links between flight behavior and physiology. Currently, wind tunnels are being use...

The current biodiversity crisis is characterized by the decline and extinction of numerous animal populations and species world-wide. To aid in understanding the threats and causes of population decline and the assessment of endangerment status of a species, conservation scientists and practitioners are increasingly relying on remote assessments using biotelemetry (radio telemetry, acoustic tel...

Biotelemetry provides high-quality data in awake, free-ranging animals without the effects of anesthesia and surgery. Although many biological parameters can be measured using biotelemetry, simultaneous telemetric measurements of pressure and flow have not been available. The objective of this study was to evaluate simultaneous measurements of blood flow, pressure, ECG, and temperature in a ful...

There is a need to remotely monitor fully mobile heart patients in their natural environments. The Monitoring of a patient’s ECG waveforms in different conditions can track the diagnosis of a heart disease, which can further be treated to help prolong and improve the life of the patient. If a patient must be monitored without any delay that is associated with delivering data which is stored on ...

Remote measurement of the physiology, behaviour and energetic status of free-living animals is made possible by a variety of techniques that we refer to collectively as 'biotelemetry'. This set of tools ranges from transmitters that send their signals to receivers up to a few kilometers away to those that send data to orbiting satellites and, more frequently, to devices that log data. They enab...

Implantable antenna technology is a current trend in biomedical applications. Implantation is being used in Biotelemetry and Biomedical therapy. The trend of implantation started in 1960’s with implantable pace makers and is emerging with improving the size and efficiency of implantable devices. Biomedical applications cover Biotelemetry and Biomedical therapy. Realization of implantable antenn...
