Background The advent of telemetry has revolutionized wildlife research in recent decades.
For telemetry to be effective, transmitting devices must remain attached to study animals …

Animal movement is a pivotal element of many ecological processes, and on ocean-
exposed sandy shores, ghost crabs (genus Ocypode) undertake extensive nocturnal forays …

Radiotelemetry is a widely used and informative tool in studies of animal ecology, behavior,
and conservation. Over the past 50 years, many different methods have been used to outfit …

The substrate use by animals may influence both their morphology and diet. Species of the
genus Chironius are among the most conspicuous frog‐eating, arboreal snakes in South …

Ecological studies of movements in animals require extensive knowledge of direction,
distance and frequency of movements. The purpose of this study was to describe the daily …

This study aimed at describing daily and seasonal variation in the activity of a population of
South-American rattlesnakes (Crotalus durissus) in a savanna like habitat (Cerrado) in …

Individually marked smooth snakes inhabiting a 10 ha area of lowland heath in southern
England were studied between 1993–2011 and their movements estimated from capture …

Global positioning system (GPS) transmitters provide detailed information but require
external attachment of relatively large units. We describe a backpack system that we …

Detailed information on habitat use allows a better understanding of a species' behaviour
and spatial ecology and provides basic information that may help with conservation …

We describe a new technique for tracking snakes that is an alternative to radio-transmitters
and thread trails. We coated the bodies of three species of garter snakes (Thamnophis) in …
