Fig. 1 from the article: Map of study sites at which shorebirds were captured for deployment of remote-upload tag deployments, archival tag deployments, or both types.

Fig. 2 from the article: Modeled estimates of the proportional hazards (risk of failure prior to the end of the expected tracking duration) for levels of each covariate identified as significant in the mixed-effects Cox proportional hazards models for shorebird tag deployments with remote-upload data retrieval (a–g) and archival tag deployments requiring recapture (h–i).

Fig. 4 from the article: Modeled conditional survival curves for each level of significant covariates for remote-upload tag deployments (a–f) and archival tag deployments (g–h) deployed on shorebirds.

New paper: guidelines for tracker choice: a global synthesis of 2745 shorebird trackers on 37 species shows most deployments fail early, but success improves with lighter tags, leg-loop harnesses, satellite data retrieval, and solar power

Another piece of research from team #Shag on Sklinna. Strongly recommended for all researchers working with #biologging data

Loggers attached to birds can affect foraging behaviour Loggers have become a central part of research on seabirds and other groups of animals over the past 20 years. In seabird research, loggers provide very useful documentation of diving behaviour…

#biologging #research is booming - but do #loggers actually impact the birds? Yes, they do - depending on the mass and attachment location. If you work with biologging, you should read our latest publication seapop.no/en/2025/11/l...

Spying on stingrays: First-ever tags reveal elusive behaviors and habitats Biologging—an innovative, non-invasive method of tracking animals in the wild—is transforming how scientists study movement, behavior and social interactions. Using compact electronic devices that can remain attached for hours or even months, researchers can now gather detailed data with minimal disruption to the animals' natural lives.
