Avian Telemetry - Wildlife Tracking
OTS has been involved in several avian tracking projects and our ornithologists can cater to a wide range of telemetry needs.
Telemetry projects vary enormously based on the study species and the research objectives, and OTS ornithologists have the experience needed to deliver tracking solutions custom-designed to fit the research goals and study species.
Typically, OTS provides the following services for telemetry projects:
Project design and sourcing the ideal tracking device
Bird capture for device fitting (and retrieval, when required)
VHF (radio tracking) location triangulation
Remote data collection from GPS units using a variety of platforms (e.g. Bluetooth, 4G, Argos)
Regular data monitoring, interpretation, and troubleshooting
Data analysis (e.g. home range, behaviour, land-use partitioning) and reporting
