A new method developed at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences allows GPS collars to be placed autonomously on free terrestrial animals. Posted in BioScience, the concept test study demonstrates uncaptured telemetry (CFT), a technique that places tracking devices on wild animals while interacting with bait deployment units in their natural habitat.

Wild animals can now GPS-collar themselves for research
For six decades, wildlife researchers have faced a persistent challenge: to attach a tracking device to study a wild animal, they first have to catch it. Now, a new approach developed at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) allows GPS collars to be deployed autonomously on free-roaming terrestrial wildlife. Published in BioScience, the proof-of-concept study demonstrates Capture-Free Telemetry (CFT), a technique that places tracking …
A new approach developed at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) allows the autonomous placement of GPS collars in free-living terrestrial wild animals, without the need for physical capture or direct manipulation by humans. Traditional wildlife telemetry depends on the physical capture of animals for the placement of localization devices. This process is invasive, complex and costly. In addition, capture and immobilization can cause…
