Performance of proximity loggers under controlled field conditions: an assessment from a wildlife ecological and epidemiological perspective

Abstract Background Ecological sciences have, in recent decades, benefited from the ability of proximity loggers (PLs)—i.e. devices that transmit and receive radio signals (UHF)—to quantify intra- and inter-specific interactions.
