Abstract:Wildlife tracking studies have become ubiquitous in ecology and now provide previously unobtainable data regarding individual movement, vital rates, and population demographics. However, tracking devices can potentially reduce survival of study subjects, generating biases in the vital rates they seek to measure. Previous studies have found that greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) fitted with Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking devices may experience reduced survival, relative to those tracked … Show more
