In contrast to surveys, telemetry collects a large amount of data about a small number of individuals.
We used existing GPS-GSM telemetry data, collected at 15 min intervals from 13 golden eagles in 2012 and 2013, to explore the relationship between point count data and eagle use of an entire project footprint.
We investigated how female caribou cope with disturbances using GPS telemetry data collected on 48 females in a highly managed landscape in Québec, Canada, between 2004 and 2010, using home-range size as a proxy of caribou space use behaviour.
The telemetry data collected by this layer is aggregated by a central service which offers insight into the environment.
Furthermore, telemetry data collected from wolves [19] and grizzly bears [53] in our study area confirm that predators avoid high-human use areas.
To ensure cameras were placed where predator and prey species could potentially interact, random points were generated within the extent of overlapping wolf (i.e. a dominant wild predator species) and elk (i.e. a dominant wild prey species) kernel home range boundaries determined from telemetry data collected in the study area [19].
Many LTER projects use automatic sensors and remote telemetry to collect some of their data.
In just one week, our widely-skilled field crew had honed our protocol capturing nearly 20 gray seals, deploying 7 high-resolution GPS cell phone tags (in addition to a handful of other satellite telemetry tags), collecting hundreds of biological samples for collaborators, and disentangling two animals with life-threatening entanglements with fishing gear.
Since the telemetry data were collected, construction of unprotected roads has caused an enormous loss of roadless wilderness area to 3 of the 6 telemetry sites (Figure 1b).
Radio telemetry locations were collected from 35 adult Willow Flycatchers (n = 14 males, n = 13 females, and n = 8 unknown sex) over the 2003 and 2004 breeding seasons at Fish Creek, Utah.
