| Effectiveness of Three Types of Collars Used to Monitor Free Ranging Lions (_Panthera leo_) in the Okavango Delta, Botswana | |
| 2007 Conference Proceeding | |
We evaluate the effectiveness to collect range use and movement data using normal VHF radio collars, GPS collars and GPS collars with satellite link. The cost per plot depends on the actual lifespan of the collars, cost of the collars, veterinary costs, staff and transport costs. Local topography and conditions and study objectives will determine the most economic collar to use for a project. |
