Hi! Can't DM you, could I get some more details some other way?

We're retrieving this data in real time to Movebank.org using ICARUS SigFox tags. Peru has partial IoT coverage along the coast which is proving great for coastal ecosystems. 1) SigFox coastal coverage; 2) fixes (white-direct transmission, black-requested from tag's memory)

I'm Diego and I work in diverse research projects in Peru, including camera trapping the rainforest and more recently wildlife tracking. I'm looking for funded PhD positions in Europe or Australia, so let me know if we have matching interests!

This condor is being tracked with a GSM eobs GPS logger, so it only works in areas with cellular reception. Condors fly very high (>5000masl) so they can log into the network up in the sky when there's no reception in the ground. It's a relief when they log after over a week offline!

We are also getting great data from a gull entering its breeding season, and also a possible new HPAI strain arrival with the northern migrants. This individual is exploring nearby islands and using urban spaces.

We need to tag more of these!

The data is directly uploaded to #MoveBank through the SigFox IoT network. In Peru this network has coverage in main cities, which are mostly spread along the coast; this allows us to get GPS fixes from these tags on migrating pelicans whenever they are near a city.
