7 p, 1.7 MB A practical approach with drones, smartphones, and tracking tags for potential real-time animal tracking / Mesquita, Geison P. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia) ; Mulero-Pázmány, Margarita (Universidad de Málaga) ; Wich, Serge A. (Liverpool John Moores University) ; Rodríguez-Teijeiro, José Domingo (Universitat de Barcelona)
Drones are increasingly used for fauna monitoring and wildlife tracking; however, their application for wildlife tracking is restricted by developing such systems. Here we explore the potential of drones for wildlife tracking using an off-the-shelf system that is easy to use by non-specialists consisting of a multirotor drone, smartphones, and commercial tracking devices via Bluetooth and Ultra-Wide Band (UWB).

7 p, 472.2 KB Measuring disturbance at swift breeding colonies due to the visual aspects of a drone : a quasi-experiment study / Mesquita, Geison P. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia) ; Rodríguez-Teijeiro, José Domingo (Universitat de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Evolutiva, Ecologia i Ciències Ambientals) ; Wich, Serge A. (University of Amsterdam) ; Mulero-Pázmány, Margarita (Liverpool John Moores University)
There is a growing body of research indicating that drones can disturb animals. However, it is usually unclear whether the disturbance is due to visual or auditory cues. Here, we examined the effect of drone flights on the behavior of great dusky swifts Cypseloides senex and white-collared swifts Streptoprocne zonaris in 2 breeding sites where drone noise was obscured by environmental noise from waterfalls and any disturbance must be largely visual.

10 p, 357.8 KB Sex and season explain spleen weight variation in the Egyptian mongoose / Bandeira, Victor (University of Aveiro. Department of Biology & Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar (CESAM)) ; Virgós, Emilio (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. Departamento de Biologia, Geología, Física y Química Inorgánica) ; Azevedo, Alexandre (Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas de Abel Salazar (Porto, Portugal)) ; Carvalho, João (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Medicina i Cirurgia Animals) ; Cunha, Mónica V (Universidade de Lisboa. BioISI-Biosystems & Integrative Sciences Institute) ; Fonseca, Carlos (University of Aveiro. Department of Biology & Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar (CESAM))
The Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon Linnaeus, 1758) is a medium-sized carnivore that experienced remarkable geographic expansion over the last 3 decades in the Iberian Peninsula. In this study, we investigated the association of species-related and abiotic factors with spleen weight (as a proxy for immunocompetence) in the species. [...]
