We are currently doing an inventory of technics used in telemetric monitoring amphibian. The aim is principally to clarify all technics which have been tested concerning the fitting of transmitters, in order to know the more effective ones, and if certain amphibian species have specific problems to certain of these technics (very high mortality, absence of movements, individuals in poor health…). The final purpose is to allow the community of people who want to lead such monitoring in the future to be aware of tested methods, and mostly, aware of potential problems or benefits of each technics. So this document will be made public.
For this, we initiate a call back of experiences : if you or some of your acquaintances have accomplished such studies, thank you for contacting us, by explaining your choices of technics, and their outcomes (success or fail, and why). You can do it by email or by telephone, at your convenience. You can also choose that your name appears or not in the final report. Deadline for answering : April 20, 2015 Contacts : Ninon Pégourié, trainee in second year of Master at the Center of Evolutionary and Functional Ecology (CEFE) of Montpellier, France, and at the University of Angers (Supervisors : Aurélie Coulon (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Center of Ecology and of Conservation Science, and CEFE), Damien Picard (Group Ecology and Conservation of Vertebras, University of Angers), Claude Miaud (CEFE)).
