Wildlife telemetries

Question 1

Telometry

Answer 1

generally include devices that store data onboard (archival data loggers) for later downloading or transmission.

Question 2

Biotelemetry

Answer 2

include measurements of activity that are more relevant to behaviour (e.g. chewing, audio) or measurements of environmental conditions that are relevant to organismal physiology (e.g. body temperature).

Question 3

Tracking

Answer 3

the most basic type of telemetry that involves determining where an animal is located spatially. Using fixed receiving stations, it is possible to determine fine-scale movement and activity patterns.

Question 4

Biologging

Answer 4

the use of miniaturized
animal-attached tags for logging and/or relaying data about
an animal’s movements, behaviour, physiology, and/or
environment’.
