Biologging
Biologging is the use of tags attached to animals to record aspects of their behaviour, physiology or environment.
Description
[edit]Biologging tags can this can just feature the location of the animal, such as with GPS animal tracking. However, biologging typically has a focus on learning about other features besides the animal's location.[1][2]
Many sensor types can be used. Examples include temperature,[3] accelerometers[4] or microphones.[5] Regardless of the type, the biologger sensors themselves must be of a certain minute size as to not disturb the animal being tagged.[6]
