Available on line “Challenges and opportunities of using GPS-based location data in animal ecology”
Theme issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.
Compiled and edited by Francesca Cagnacci, Luigi Boitani, Roger A. Powell and Mark S. Boyce
The secret dream of animal and behavioural ecologists seems close to come true: studying animals in their own environment, from their own perspective. Global Positioning System (GPS) devices applied to terrestrial, avian and marine taxa allow to accurately and continuously track these species while they move, migrate, disperse, return, select and use resources, compete, reproduce, die. As technology improves and costs drop, a constantly increasing diversity of species and research contexts will profit of these advancements.
