“…The prototype multi‐constellation multi‐frequency GNSS collar has been specially designed to monitor Iberian red deer ( Cervus elaphus hispanicus ) and fallow deer ( Dama dama ) in sympatric wild populations in southern Spain (Azorit et al 2012) to explain the different feeding strategies of both species and to better understand whether the large diet overlap detected involves interspecific competition for resources. Furthermore, this GNSS collar can be adapted to other wild mammals to obtain accurate data for behavioral analyses with approaches that already consider heterogeneity and the 3 dimensions of the landscape (Valderrama‐Zafra et al 2022).…”

The use of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) technology within the fields of ecology and biology has increased over recent years. With Global Positioning System, GLObalnaya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, Galileo, and BeiDou systems fully deployed, >140 navigation satellites are currently available for navigation and high precision positioning applications. The technological improvements in GNSS devices, mainly due to the multi-frequency capability, reduce signal acquisition time and increase the reliability, the continuity, and the accuracy of the estimated position, especially in complex environments like forests or areas with a steep topography.This study aims to test experimentally the influence of multiconstellation multi-frequency modules on the performance of the GNSS collars used to monitor wildlife. We applied static and kinematic tests designed to assess and compare the performance of GNSS collars equipped with a single-frequency versus a multi-frequency chipset. We evaluated the availability and continuity of solutions, number of satellites used, dilution of precision, precision, accuracy, and repeatability of these quality parameters for GNSS devices in southeastern Spain
