Animal Tracker

Welcome to the new ANIMALTRACKER twitter account of the max planck institute for animalbehavior

„Wenn keiner guckt – Das geheimnisvolle Leben unserer Katzen“ (vier Folgen ab 19. März samstags um 19:10 Uhr bei VOX) was Eure Lieblinge alles anstellen, wenn Ihr nicht dabei seid. Mit unserem Direktor Martin Wikelski als Experte. Die animierten Daten sind ab Montag in der App!

“The view is endlessly fulfilling.” For movement ecologists, seeing the #ICARUS antenna floating above our big, blue, beautiful Earth “is like the answer to a lifetime of questions…” We couldn’t have said it better than Don DeLillo, 1983.

Timm Wild’s WildFi #biologging published!! W/ #IOT communication between devices, smart data retrieval and use of Wi-Fi infrastructure, the WildFi system allows for ethical and ecologically valuable big data collection onboard animals besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @MPI_animalbehav

13 years later we finally get around to describing Movebank in a methods paper! Check it out to catch up with the latest developments including #realtime #nocode data analysis, automated annotation of remote sensing data, and the @Animaltracker1 app for your smart phone.

In the last decade, smaller and lighter tags have turned the animal tracking "wave" into a tsunami of data. MOVEBANK's ecosystem of tools is part of the solution to make sense of it all @MovebankTeam @Animaltracker1 @RolandKays @animaltracking @safilabmpi ab.mpg.de/435091/solving…

Gestern Abend nach der erfolgreichen Beobachtung von Obelix, dem Waldrapp (@Animaltracker1), stieg der #Supermoon 2021 im Schwarzwald auf...

Haha weird to have such crazy cool tech on my dinner table. They survived a night with cats and I can’t wait to see how they run on bats!

ICARUS flies!

The long-awaited Telonics tag live feeds are now available! Find out how to set up your Telonics feed to Movebank here: telonics.com/products/gps4/…

With the help of the Animal Tracker app you can display the migration routes of all storks that carry a transmitter at the same time.

Follow the white storks on their amazing migration and see how they choose and change their routes as they travel thousands of kilometers...

@hmtozcetin (3) winter. This answer was given by @wfiedler2

@Animaltracker1 by any chance do you have any input regarding the stork odette (and maybe mare the black stork) which is now near east of Sirte Libya? Do you think this route is ok for the stork? Thanks!

@hmtozcetin (2)That one spent the non-breeding summer in Northern Africa, travelled slowly eastwards and finally joined the autumn migrating storks to Tansania. So, Odette’s route is not completely crazy but indeed uncommon. Let’s hope she survives to show us where she will got for the next

@hmtozcetin (1)Odette is a Bavarian bird from 2020, thus an immature. We have seen a comparable route and timing in another bird from Bavaria some years ago.

follow @eidolonnetwork to see what’s up with our project on these amazing bat - soon to be tagged with #ICARUS tags @animaltracking @EdwardHurme @martinwikelski @UschiMller4 @RolandKays @RachaelCooBoh @RwandaWildlife @bats_w_borders
