- W38782068 abstract "Radio-telemetry in various forms has been used by researchers for many years to track the movements of wildlife. Until relatively recently, the majority of tracking devices were simple radio beacons that required the use of directional aerials to locate and record the position of the animals being studied. Recent enhancements have allowed tracking devices to provide accurate position information by including a GPS unit in the device. In support of a research project being conducted to study rehabilitated kangaroos after they have been released back into the wild, a low cost, real time positioning system was required that could track up to 50 animals simultaneously at multiple release sites throughout south east Queensland. Several existing commercial solutions provide accurate real time position information by transmitting the GPS information via the ARGOS satellite system. Others achieve the same result by sending SMS messages. Devices which do not provide real time information act as data loggers and allow the position information to be extracted after the tracking device has been retrieved. Of these options, satellite tracking is the ideal solution but is inherently expensive with costs of approximately $500 per animal per month. In a project tracking 50 animals for 12 months this would amount to $300,000 in satellite charges. The units which employ SMS messaging are unsuitable due the poor mobile phone coverage in the majority of research locations in Australia. Up front costs are also significant with commercially available tracking devices costing around $6,000 per unit. Although they have been used in many previous studies it was also felt that neck collars were unsuitable for kangaroos. As none of the many equipment manufacturers were able to satisfy the requirements it was decided to develop custom built tracking harnesses based around VHF radio and the APRS technology which is currently used around the world for vehicle tracking. This paper reviews the capabilities of off-the-shelf tracking devices and discusses the suitability of the various implementations for use with kangaroos." @default.
