Choosing Sampling Interval Durations for Remotely Classifying Rocky Mountain Elk Behavior

Creator:

Gaylord, Adam J., Sanchez, Dana M., and Van Sickle, John

Abstract:

Dual-axis accelerometer global positioning system collars can be used to remotely record the activity level and behavior of free-ranging animals, but inter- and intraspecific variations in motion among behaviors necessitate calibration for each species of interest. To date, little work has been done to determine the best duration for sampling...

Causes and Consequences of Timing Errors Associated With Global Positioning System Collar Accelerometer Activity Monitors

Creator:

Gaylord, Adam J. and Sanchez, Dana M.

Abstract:

Direct behavioral observations of multiple free-ranging animals over long periods of time and large geographic areas is prohibitively difficult. However, recent improvements in technology, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) collars equipped with motion-sensitive activity monitors, create the potential to remotely monitor animal behavior. Accelerometer-equipped activity monitors quantify animal motion...

Ungulate activity classification : calibrating activity monitor GPS collars for Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, and cattle

Creator:

Gaylord, Adam J.

Abstract:

Ungulate behavior has been studied extensively but direct observation of free-ranging animals over long periods of time and large geographic areas is often prohibitively difficult. Improved technology, such as GPS collars fitted with motion-sensitive activity monitors, provides researchers with a potential tool to remotely collect fine scale activity and location...
