Can wild boar be surveyed using GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an important new technology for spatial behaviour studies of terrestrial vertebrates. Although VHF telemetry has been substantially used, our study is the first report, to our knowledge, on GPS technology used to track free-ranging wild boars. Although the need...

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an important new technology for spatial behaviour studies of terrestrial vertebrates.
