Interaction studies using Lotek Proximity Sensor collars for wildlife

When are your animals in each other's vicinity? For how long? And how often? Conduct your interaction studies with our two-collar Proximity Sensor system, in which the Master collars sense the presence or absence of the SUB ('Slave UHF Beacon') collars. In this way, new animal interaction dynamics are revealed. This system is a cost-effective alternative for studying groups of any size.

Types of interaction studies that can be conducted with Lotek Proximity Sensors include:
Conspecific interactions: fawn survival rates, yearling adult separation time, social status, reproductive strategy, herd coherence.
Interspecies interactions: disease transmission (e.g., brucellosis, tuberculosis), competition for food resources.
Predator-prey interactions: predation efficiency, individual kill participation, refractory period / chase details.
