Movement & Altitude Tracking
Individual-animal tracking — sub-gram GPS, PIT-tag readers, and radio-mesh — for movement, connectivity, and flight altitude at the scale wind turbines and roost-connectivity questions need.
Some questions need individual animals to be followed over time. Sub-gram GPS tags, altitude-capable GPS, PIT-tag readers at roost entrances, and radio-mesh networks can show movement, site fidelity, and per-individual flight altitude that general flight-path methods miss.
Technology it uses
- GPS Tracking Sub-gram and altitude-capable GPS tags for individual-animal movement
- PIT Tags Passive integrated transponders implanted in individual bats, read by
- Radio Tracking VHF and 2.4 GHz radio tags with both conventional manual tracking and
- Field Platform The physical and electronic base that lets every monitoring system
- Dashboards & Review Tools Client dashboards provide access, replay, and report downloads.
Questions this system helps answer
- Presence and Absence Is the target species present at this site, and when?
- Abundance and Colony Size How many animals use this site, cave, corridor, or roost?
- Movement and Connectivity How do individuals move between roosts, caves, or across landscapes?
- Flight Height and Collision Risk At what heights, times, and conditions do animals fly through wind energy infrastructure?
- Roost Discovery and Use Where are roosts, which are active, and how is roost use changing?
- Disturbance and Displacement How do animals respond to construction, mining, exclusion events, or novel structures?
- Breeding and Seasonality When do animals breed, and how does site use vary through the year?
- Noise, Vibration, and Compliance Are noise and vibration levels within regulatory thresholds at sensitive receivers?
