The use of miniaturized data loggers attached to animals to record their movements and behaviors.

StarStarStarStar

Camera Traps

StarStarStarStar

Automated digital cameras triggered by motion or heat to capture images or video of wildlife.

StarStarStarStar

PIT Tags

StarStarStarStar

Passive Integrated Transponder tags are injected or inserted into animals for individual identification via RFID technology.

StarStarStarStar

Molecular Tracking

StarStarStarStar

The use of DNA analysis from environmental samples such as hair, feces, or saliva to study wildlife populations.

StarStarStarStar

Geolocators

StarStarStarStar

Small devices that record light levels over time to estimate geographic location based on day length and solar noon.

StarStarStarStar

Citizen Science Platforms

StarStarStarStar

Engages the public in collecting wildlife data through observations, often assisted by mobile apps or online databases.

StarStarStarStar
