Includes information on methods of radio tag harnessing, sections on satellite tracking techniques and types of data analysis. Intended for wildlife and behavioral biologists, this title offers coverage of techniques in both terrestrial and satellite tracking. It features guidance in how to fit tags, track animals, and analyse resulting data.

Retaining the introductory flavor of the now classic First Edition, this revision includes all the latest techniques in the field. New information on methods of radio tag harnessing, new sections on satellite tracking techniques and new types of data analysis are all included. Still the only comprehensive, up-to-date, introduction to this fundamental technique for wildlife and behavioral biologists.

Robert Kenward started radio-tracking wildlife in 1974, monitoring released goshawks as a part of a thesis study at Oxford University. After learning to build radio-tags for projects in Sweden, he became a government biologist, working mainly on raptors and squirrels. More than 50 of his publications involve radio-tagging, including the Ranges suite of analysis software.
