10 Dec Improving Emergence Location Estimates for Argos Pop-up Transmitters

A recent study used implantable Wildlife Computers Life History Transmitters (LHX) with pop-up archival transmitter tags to improve location estimates. In this study, researchers were able to “classify mortality by cause and location by applying a time-reversed state-space modeling technique.” The data also provided “insight into the surface movement patterns of implantable tags postmortem and the influence of environmental and oceanographic variables on location accuracy.”
