Over the past three decades, technological advances for monitoring wild animals have
expanded the ability of ecologists to study animal behavior and space use. Currently …

Researchers often attach transmitters and other devices to free‐living birds without a clear
understanding of potential deleterious consequences to their study organisms, and thus to …

Tracking devices have become small enough to be widely applied to arthropods to study
their movement. However, possible side effects of these devices on arthropod performance …

The advantages of transmission telemetry or logging systems for studying free-living animals
are multiple and have driven designs for many and varied devices, each with its own …

Current guidelines for instrumenting birds state that external devices should not exceed 3–
5% of the birds' body mass; however, the energetic consequences of carrying any given …

Determining the links between the behavioural and population responses of wild species to
environmental variations is critical for understanding the impact of climate variability on …

Climate change and fisheries are transforming the oceans, but we lack a complete
understanding of their ecological impact [1–3]. Environmental degradation can cause …

Determining the movement of marine animals is logistically difficult and is currently primarily
based on VHF and satellite-tracking telemetry, GPS, acoustic telemetry, and geolocation, all …

Seabird populations of the Southern Ocean have been responding to climate change for the
last three decades and demographic models suggest that projected warming will cause …

Animal‐borne instruments provide researchers with valuable data to address important
questions on wildlife ecology and conservation. However, these devices have known …
