“…These tags provide a unique identity when in range of a radio frequency identification antenna. PIT tags are lightweight, inexpensive and require no battery power, enabling large‐scale deployment over long periods of time, and they can be used in both laboratory (Boogert, Farine, & Spencer, ; Farine, Spencer, & Boogert, ; Griffith, Holleley, Mariette, Pryke, & Svedin, ; Weissbrod et al., ) and field conditions (Adelman, Moyers, Farine, & Hawley, ; Aplin et al., ; Bonter & Bridge, ; Broderick & Godley, ; Farine, Aplin, Garroway, Mann, & Sheldon, ; König et al., ; Mariette et al., ; Steinmeyer, Mueller, & Kempenaers, ). Although many individuals can be tagged, the antennas can only detect one individual at a time and only at fixed focal locations, such as nest boxes (Santema, Schlicht, Schlicht, & Kempenaers, ; Schlicht, Valcu, & Kempenaers, ), feeders (Firth, Sheldon, & Farine, ), or puzzle‐boxes (Aplin et al., ), which limits resolution for assessing interactions among individuals.…”
