| GPS Radio Collar 3D Performance as Influenced by Forest Structure and Topography | |
| 2000 Biotelemetry (15): 474 | |
Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry enables biologists to obtain accurate and systematic locations of animals. Vegetation can block signals from satellites to GPS radio collars. Therefore, a vegetationdependent bias to telemetry data may occur which if quantified, could be accounted for. We evaluated the performance of GPS collars in 6 structural stage categories of 3 forest vegetation types to attempt to quantify the relation between GPS locations and forest vegetation. |
