A trial of three harness attachment methods and their suitability for long-term use on Lesser Black-backed Gulls and Great Skuas (2014, methodology): “…gather detailed information about the movements and behaviour of birds (‘biologging’), are becoming both smaller and lighter, allowing their deployment on a wider range of species than was previously possible (eg Calvo & Furness 1992, Murray & Fuller 2000, Barron et al 2010, Bridge et al 2013).”
Miniaturization of biologgers is not alleviating the 5% rule (2018, background): “…size of device to be used for a particular species and deployment duration based on the findings of recent meta- analyses of device impact (Barron et al., 2010; Bodey et al., 2017; White et al., 2013) or based on empirical examination of device impact, rather than by strict adoption of…”
Technology on the Move: Recent and Forthcoming Innovations for Tracking Migratory Birds (2011, background): “Most experts suggest a rule of thumb of 3%–5% of an animal’s body weight (Murray and Fuller 2000; Barron et al. 2010), whereas others emphasize minimizing the size or proﬁle of tracking devices (Cacca-mise and Hedin 1985, Bowlin et al. 2010b).”
A meta-analysis of the effects of geolocator application on birds (2013, background): “However, application of transmitters to birds was found to significantly increase energy expenditure and reduce the probability of nesting, calling for a balance of the benefits of using these techniques against potential costs to the birds and reliability of the data obtained (Barron et al., 2010).”
