The large publication record speaks for itself: our Micro-GPS loggers are a reliable tool for the collection of accurate data about movement patterns of free-ranging animals. Originally developed for pigeons, it has been adapted to the use on a large variety of species already, including albatrosses (see above), gannets, tortoises, dogs, and most recently fulmars.

One of the many possible applications of Micro-GPS:

Albatross tracking. The results of this study have been published in Science
