| Satellite telemetry and wildlife studies in India: Advantages, options and challenges | |
| 2003 Current Science (85): 1439-1443 | |
Greater spatial coverage, accuracy and non-invasiveness of satellite technology make it one of the best tools to track long-distance migrants, which is otherwise difficult using conventional radio telemetry. In this article, we review the evolution of satellite telemetry and its application. We provide examples of three recent studies in India that have demonstrated and created a widespread appreciation of the use and benefits of satellite telemetry among biologists and managers. We also discuss the future prospects of this technology _vis-…-vis _benefits and challenges in the Indian subcontinent. |
