AbstractUnderstanding animal activity and movement is essential in ecology and behavior. However, there is no standardized way of comparing animal activity between species and habitats. Through this award, the PIs will apply recently developed new technology based on conventional radio telemetry to quantitatively compare activity levels in animals. The technology will be applied to a pilot study that will aid in understanding why tropical birds live five times longer than temperate birds. A second study will be conducted using the equipment to evaluate the challenges of long-term deployments and costs associated with tracking mice. These studies and the application of this emerging technology are fundamental to the design of the National Ecological Observatory Network. Quantifying animal movements and dynamics is the single biggest sensor challenge for the development of the NEON research platform.

摘要了解动物的活动和运动是生态学和行为学的基础。然而，没有标准化的方法来比较物种和栖息地之间的动物活动。通过该奖项，PI将应用最近开发的基于传统无线电遥测的新技术来定量比较动物的活动水平。这项技术将被应用于一项试点研究，这将有助于理解为什么热带鸟类的寿命是温带鸟类的五倍。 第二项研究将使用该设备进行，以评估长期部署的挑战和与跟踪小鼠相关的成本。 这些研究和这一新兴技术的应用是国家生态观测网设计的基础。 量化动物运动和动力学是氖研究平台开发的最大传感器挑战。
