Radio-biotelemetry studies of circadian body temperature rhythms and activity levels [of the] zebra finch (Peophilia guttata)
The object of this study was to determine the normal thermoregulatory patterns of zebra finches (Poephilia guttat) in as near a normal physiological and behavioral state as possible. Surface body temperature and level of activity were the two primary channels of information. Radiobioelemetry …

Exploiting Near Field and Surface Wave Propagation for Implanted Devices
… shortcomings of conventional inductive coupling biotelemetry systems for implantable devices, and presents two approaches toward an end-to-end biotelemetry system for reducing the power consumption of implanted devices at increased levels of bandwidth. By leveraging the transition zone between …

Habitat utilization and movement patterns of subadult largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in the Ohio River
… was highest.;Core use areas were calculated from biotelemetry data and ranged from 88--59,400 m2, representing 0.02--89.00% of available study location macrohabitat. Subadult bass movement was limited to nursery embayments or tributaries with infrequent movement to nearby main channel areas. Bass …

Ecology of the Tropical Freshwater Turtle Rhinoclemmy's Funerea in Caribbean Costa Rica
… and terrestrial plants. Observational and biotelemetry data indicated frequent migrations to land in late afternoon and evening to forage for terrestrial vegetation and fallen fruits. Reproductive data suggested one nesting season from May through at least June. Eggs per clutch ranged from …

The spatial scale of adaptive population differentiation in Atlantic Salmon: local adaptation in smolt migration timing
… yet complimentary disciplines, genetics and biotelemetry, this work is focussed toward identifying the spatial scale and extent of population genetic structuring in the species and linking this to variation in migratory behaviour.<br/>From a purely academic perspective, investigation of local …

A biological data acquisition platform for problem animals in agricultural areas
… end, this thesis investigated the design of a biotelemetry system capable of contributing behavioural information for such animals in agricultural areas. The system is aimed at capturing video and environmental data, for subsequent transmission to an online database, to contribute possible …

Movements and Habitat Use By Hen Pheasants During Brood Rearing
… as well as hatching success. Hessler (1968) used biotelemetry techniques to study mortality of juvenile pheasants released in natural conditions. Kuck at al. (1970) reported on movements and behavior of hen pheasants during the nesting season. Carter (1971) discussed seasonal movements and hunting …

Mapping elk distribution on the Canadian prairies: Applying local knowledge to support conservation
… resource management. I used three sets of biotelemetry-collar data from across Saskatchewan and Manitoba (n = 328 collared elk; 1998–2012), in conjunction with LEK from hunters, biologists and enforcement officers (n = 71 participants) to create a series of resource selection functions …

Chapter 1, a dichotomous key for the identification of nine salmonids of the Inland Northwest using six diagnostic skull bones; and associated equations to estimate total length and weight form bones ingested by piscivores or found in archeological sites; Chapter 2, Utilization of acoustic biotelemetry to define the movements of Lake Roosevelt Redband trout, oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri
"The fish skull is a complex anatomical structure, comprised of numerous bones that are often unique to the fish's genera or species. These unique qualities allow researchers to use bone to identify and quantify fish in piscivore and archeological investigations. Due to the high degree of …

Spatial ecology of adult spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus, in Louisiana coastal waters
… spotted seatrout in my holding experiments, biotelemetry should be a feasible approach for future studies on the movement and behavior of this species. Still, in designing receiver arrays to study fish movements (of any species), it will be necessary to consider the high variability in …

Implanted Antennas and Intra-Body Propagation Channel for Wireless Body Area Network
… Area Network (WBAN) as a promising technology in biotelemetry, e-health care and hyperthermia applications. The design of WBAN faces many challenges, such as frequency band selection, channel modeling, antenna design, physical layer (PHY) protocol design, medium access control (MAC) protocol …

Lake Sturgeon Biology in Rainy Lake, Minnesota and Ontario
… sturgeon movement patterns through the use of biotelemetry, and to relate climate, Namakan Lake discharge, and Rainy Lake water levels to year-class strength of lake sturgeon in Rainy Lake. Results of gill net efforts throughout the study indicate a substantial population of lake sturgeon in …

How seabirds respond to a changing oceanic environment: a biologging approach
… for more protracted durations. In this thesis, biotelemetry is used to investigate the at-sea behaviour of three North Atlantic seabird species in order to understand the drivers of distribution. A better understanding of such drivers sheds light on the challenges facing seabird species when far …

Assessing the distribution and vulnerability of a seabird community at sea to inform conservation and management
… data for multiple species taken from biotelemetry studies and aerial surveys. Foraging radius distributions correlate significantly with GPS tracking data for four species at the colony level. At the regional level, foraging radius distributions show mixed results when compared to …

The movement ecology of common bream Abramis brama in a highly connected wetland using acoustic telemetry.
… to examine unconstrained fish movement. Thus, biotelemetry was applied to investigating the movement ecology of bream in the northern Broads wetland system. Acoustic telemetry is a central tool for fish movement ecology, but robust data interpretation requires detailed knowledge of its …

Factors Affecting Recruitment of Black Crappies in South Dakota Waters
<p>A biotelemetry study was undertaken during spring 1995 to identify black crappie Pomoxis nigromaculatus nest sites in one South Dakota impoundment (Richmond Lake) and one natural lake (Brant Lake). Individually coded ultrasonic transmitters were implanted into the body cavity of 15 adult male …
