Radiotransmitter Mount Type Affects Burrowing Owl Survival

Radiotransmitter Mount Type Affects Burrowing Owl Survival

Gervais et al conduct a research on the demographics, space use, and dispersal patterns in 2 resident populations of burrowing owls in California. They use 2 different radio attachment methods with varying total mass during the course of these research projects. They then examine mark-resight data t...

Zusammenfassung:Gervais et al conduct a research on the demographics, space use, and dispersal patterns in 2 resident populations of burrowing owls in California. They use 2 different radio attachment methods with varying total mass during the course of these research projects. They then examine mark-resight data to test for possible effects of the radiotransmitters so that future research can more accurately assess the survival costs associated with using radiotelemetry on burrowing owls.
