Contingent individual performance can depend on the environment experienced at previous life-stages. Migratory birds are especially susceptible to such carry-over effects as they periodically travel between breeding ranges and ‘wintering’... more
The paper introduces a viable short range signal triangulation method, which will enable users to identify and monitor animals in a given area. “Zig-bee- Zig bee pairs” are used as a more precise and a relatively long-lasting alternative... more
Traduction d'un extrait de The Origin of Science: The Evolutionary Roots of Scienti c Reasoning and its Implications for Citizen Science, Louis Liebenberg, Le Cap, Afrique du Sud, CyberTracker, 2013.
"In this book I will address one of the great mysteries of human evolution: How did the human mind evolve the ability to develop science? The art of tracking may well be the origin of science. Science may have evolved more than a hundred... more
Every living thing on this earth has equal ecosystem significance. Nevertheless, biodiversity is now at risk. In the forest or jungle, wild animals moved freely. In the event of an accident in the forests or any illnesses in them,... more
Telemetry-based movement research has become central for learning about the behavior, ecology and conservation of wide-ranging species. Particularly, early telemetry studies were conducted on vultures and condors due to three main... more
The movements of some long-distance migrants are driven by innate compass headings that they follow on their first migrations (e.g., some birds and insects), whilst the movements of other first time migrants are learnt by following more... more
Tropical hunting studies that focus on tracking—how signs are interpreted—are rarely done if at all. This paper provides a preliminary sketch of the tracking strategies and knowledge of Batek of Malaysia. Studies of hunter-gatherer... more
Breeding success of seabirds critically depends on their foraging success offshore. However, studies combining at-sea tracking and visual provisioning observations are scarce, especially for smaller species of seabirds. This study is the... more
1. Macroecological comparisons have shown that habitat characteristics have a major influence on the evolution of life-history strategies of fishes in large river systems. Specifically, habitat variability and predictability seem to forge... more
Until recently, almost nothing was known about the migration routes, flyway structure and population status of the Mute Swan Cygnus olor in East Asia. Here, we use a combination of GPS telemetry data, collar resightings, published... more

Multiple tracking methods (colour-rings, plumage-markings and GPS-loggers) revealed that adult Sandwich Terns Thalasseus sandvicensis from the Netherlands showed prospecting behaviour in other colonies within Northwest Europe. Birds were... more
Population density of European roe deer Capreolus capreolus was estimated in six forest areas of NorthEastern Italy through the use of different methods. The most effective method to estimate a population density is always case-dependent... more
