If you are looking to jump into the private sector, we’ve got the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. We are looking for a Research Assistant to lead the testing that validates the performance of our wildlife telemetry products. You will lay the foundation that enables...

In case you missed all the cool stuff this year at Wildlife Computers, here’s a look back. Wildlife Computers Unveils the Future of SPLASH—we’ve incorporated researcher input to create a new line of SPLASH tags that offer greater flexibility and improved data throughput. The updated models...

Satellite coverage is vital to your research and things are getting better. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched Oceansat-3, a new ocean research satellite aboard PSLV C54 on 26 November. Oceansat-3’s primary role is to monitor the color of the ocean and collect data on wind...

As a reminder, we are closed for the holiday season from 20 December 2022 until 3 January 2023. It has been another incredible year witnessing the astounding research and projects our clients achieved in 2022. Your work has led to ground-breaking policy changes, management decisions, and...

When communicating with a MiniPAT using Tag Agent, there’s an optional action to run a Test Transmission. One of the reasons to run a Test Transmission is to check the health of the battery. Tag Agent reports the results, but it also logs the results...

Human activities are increasing in the Arctic as declines in sea ice make the region more accessible. As seen in other areas, human activity can pose a risk if they overlap with hotspot regions. Identifying the marine hotspots and areas of high species richness are...

Wildlife Computers SPOT tags were deployed on blue whales in their summering grounds in northern Chilean Patagonia to gather data to provide recommendations for their conservation. This study highlights the importance of coastal waters and reinforces our knowledge about thermal fronts as important environmental drivers...

Shortfin mako sharks are pretty cool animals. This study used Wildlife Computers SPOT tags to track 9 mako sharks over the course of four years. The sharks were movers traveling across at least 12 jurisdictional boundaries. The movement ecology of this species, especially for mature...

To better understand how gentoo penguins respond to large-scale changes, researchers tracked individuals using Wildlife Computers SPOT tags during the non-breeding winter period from five colonies across breeding sites in the WAP. Results highlighted latitudinal gradients in movement; strong associations with shallow, coastal habitats along...

The foraging strategies of 39 lactating sea lions were studied using Wildlife Computers TDR tags. Researchers used an automated broken stick algorithm, hierarchical cluster analysis, and individually fitted multivariate hidden Markov models. The data showed that foraging strategies might be shaped by behavior or genes...
