Ocelot Density and Home Range in Belize, Central America: Camera-Trapping and Radio Telemetry
… wet season and high-use roads in the dry season. Radio telemetry was used in this study to estimate the home range size and density of ocelots in the broadleaf rainforest of western Belize. Six collared ocelots (3 male, 3 female) were collared and tracked from September 2003 - August 2004. Male …

The design and use of a digital radio telemetry system for measuring internal combustion engine piston parameters.
During the course of this project, a digital radio telemetry system has been designed and shown to be capable of measuring parameters from the piston of an internal combustion engine, under load. The impetus for the work stems from the need to sample the appropriate data required for oil …

Home range analysis of rehabilitated and released great horned owls (Bubo virginianus) in Denton County, Texas, through radio telemetry.
… in Denton County, Texas, and monitored using radio telemetry to evaluate home range (November 2002 - February 2005). With approximately 75% of the birds released for this study surviving until transmitter battery failure, it is believed that the rehabilitation process was successful for these …

Evaluation of Seasonal Habitat Use By White-Tailed Deer in Eastern South Dakota
… (Odocoileus virginianus) was investigated using radio telemetry locations during 1983 and 1984, on a predominantly agricultural area in east-central South Dakota. In the summer of 1983, radio-collared deer used corn, shelterbelts, and wetlands in proportion to their availability. Soybeans, …

Analyses of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Translocation Release Methods and Chick Survival in Strawberry Valley, Utah
… advances in micro-transmitters have made radio-telemetry studies on Sage-Grouse chicks more common. Radio-telemetry enables monitoring of individual chicks and broods during a critical period of their life history. The exact cause of low chick recruitment in Strawberry Valley has not been …

Movements and Behavior of Pheasants During the Breeding Cycle as Determined by Radio-Tracking
… 1966. Objectives of the study were to evaluate radio telemetry techniques, determine the territorial area and home range of the hen and cock, study the behavior pattern of hen and cock in the harem makeup, determine the distance traveled by the hen when attracted to the harem, determine if the …

Factors most closely explaining activity patterns and behavior of northern saw-whet owls in migratory stopover habitat
… regarding how owls interact. I used automated radio telemetry and acoustic playbacks to determine if NSWO moved towards or away from conspecific vocalizations and recorded any vocal response from the owls. I played vocalizations to radio-tagged owls near an automated radio telemetry stations to …

Ecology Of Coyotes (canis Latrans) In The Greater Detroit Area Of Southeastern Michigan
… switching, with no strong discernable pattern. Radio-telemetry technology was used to gather relocations of coyotes for analysis of home range and cores areas frequented by coyotes. Smaller home ranges were made up of greater proportions of urban land than natural land cover, although there was …

Winter and Spring Ecology of Gray Partridge in East Central South Dakota
… 21). Habitat utilization was determined through radio telemetry, roadside surveys, and incidental observations. Chi-square analysis was used to determine habitat selection of partridge. Home range was determined to via radio telemetry data. Food habits were analyzed with percent volume and …

Factors affecting the activity patterns of Myotis tricolor (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
… M. tricolor over the reproductive period using radio telemetry. Six female bats were radio-tagged during each reproductive period: early pregnancy, late pregnancy and lactation. Times at which bats entered and exited the cave were recorded, as was the temperature, moon-phase, cloud cover, wind …

Habitat selection and survival of juvenile black-capped vireos during the post-fledging period
… In chapter 1, I used mist-net capture rates and radio-telemetry to determine the relative abundance of juvenile vireos across habitats and to quantify habitat selection. Further, I investigated how vegetation density and arthropod abundance influenced habitat selection by juvenile vireos. I …

Genetic Characterization of Intermixed Walleye Stocks in Claytor Lake and the Upper New River, Virginia
… the biology of the New River walleye stock. A radio telemetry study and genetic evaluation of present-day stocks led to identification of three spawning areas and the characterization of the genetic stock structure of walleye in Claytor Lake and the upper New River. Using radio telemetry to …

Ecology of Lake Ontario Brown Trout
… and spring and fall 1981, the activities of 36 radiotagged brown trout were monitored near the southern shore of Lake Ontario between Port Bay and Point Breeze (Fig. 1). Underwater radio telemetry techniques were utilized to evaluate inshore and offshore periods of occupancy, range of movements, …

Utilization of Corridor Habitat by White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Denton County, Texas
… (N=15) movements were determined with use of radio telemetry techniques to determine the utilization of corridor habitat on the Lake Ray Roberts Greenbelt Corridor (RRGC) in north central Texas. Home ranges were calculated using three estimation types. Male white-tailed deer tend to have home …

Home range and movement of the eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina) in East Central Illinois
… provides understanding of their spatial needs. Radio-telemetry was used to study the home range size, movement, habitat use, and nesting of Terrapene carolina. Minimum Convex Polygons (MCP) and Kernel Density Estimates at 95, 75, and 50% were used to measure home range size. Mean home range size …

Activity Patterns, Home Range, and Microhabitat Selection of a Terrestrial Turtle (Rhinoclemmys rubida perixantha) in a Tropical Dry Forest
… by tracking turtles with trail spools and radio telemetry. Our data show activity of <em>R. r. perixantha</em> was strongly associated with the intense dry season in the tropical deciduous forest, where turtles made fewer movements and walked significantly shorter distances (wet=46.8±3.6m, …

Response of black bears to gypsy moth infestation in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
… were studied during 1985 - 1991 by comparing radio telemetry, population, and behavioral data from preinfestation years (1982 - 1986) and years with extensive defoliation (1987 - 1991). Gypsy moth defoliation (> 60% canopy loss) increased from 546 ha in 1986 (1 % of the study area), to 2,304 …
