Considerations for radio-transmitter specifications on songbirds: color and antenna length matter too

Considerations for radio-transmitter specifications on songbirds: color and antenna length matter too

Researchers studying avian space use, dispersal, survival, and migration select tracking tags that optimize tag size (dimensions) and mass relative to the focal species to minimize risk to birds as they move and fly. Here we argue that antenna length and transmitter color are also critical tag desig...
