“…From the 1960s onward, radio tracking increasingly offered new insights for ecologists, including into wolf population dynamics and behavior (Fuller, Mech, & Cochrane, 2010). Over the last twenty years, further advances in electronics, biosensors and GPS technologies have provided an even greater abundance of data (Fuller & Fuller, 2012), making most wildlife ever more trackable and quantifiable (Benson, 2016). For some ecologists, this capability is seen as vital to protect "biodiversity" (Takacs, 1996) which promotes taxonomic species as the fundamental biological, or ontological (Lorimer, 2015), unit critical to understanding complex ecosystems (Wilson, 1999).…”
