  2. GPS animal tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_animal_tracking

    The animal's location can then be plotted against a map or chart in near real-time or, when analysing the track later, using a GIS package or custom software. GPS tracking devices may also be attached to domestic animals, such as pets, pedigree livestock and working dogs. Some owners use these collars for geofencing of their pets. [2]

  3. Animal migration tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_migration_tracking

    Animal migration tracking is used in wildlife biology, conservation biology, ecology, and wildlife management to study animals' behavior in the wild. One of the first techniques was bird banding , placing passive ID tags on birds legs, to identify the bird in a future catch-and-release.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_observation

    Common examples of this type of activity are bird watching and whale watching. The process of scientific wildlife observation includes the reporting of what (diagnosis of the species), where (geographical location), when (date and time), who (details about observer), and why (reason for observation, or explanations for occurrence). Wildlife ...

  7. Wildlife radio telemetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_Radio_Telemetry

    Global positioning tracking is useful for migrating animals because their locations can accurately be determined, regardless of the distance they are from the operator. [2] Satellite tracking is similar to GPS tracking and allows animal movement to be tracked globally. This form of tracking is useful for remote or inaccessible areas.

  8. Precision livestock farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_livestock_farming

    PLF tracks large animals, such as cows, "per animal", but smaller animals, such as poultry, "per flock", wherein the whole flock in a house is treated as one animal. Tracking "per flock" is widely used in broilers. PLF technologies include cameras, microphones, and other sensors for tracking livestock, as well as accompanying computer software.
