Retaining the introductory flavor of the now classic First Edition, this revision includes all the latest techniques in the field. New information on methods of radio tag harnessing, new sections on satellite tracking techniques and new types of data analysis are all included. Still the only comprehensive, up-to-date, introduction to this fundamental technique for wildlife and behavioral biologists.
* A unique guide to the subject
* Full coverage of the very latest techniques in both terrestrial and satellite tracking
* Detailed, practical guidance in how to fit tags, track animals, source and evaluate equipments and techniques and analyse resulting data
(Harcourt Science and Technology) The standard text in this field, discussing all of the important aspects of radio tagging wildlife for tracking purposes, and how new technology relates to the field. Emphasis is placed on tagging techniques and welfare of the animal.| Preface |
