Resolving issues of imprecise and habitat-biased locations in ecological analyses using GPS telemetry data (2010, background): “From terrestrial studies of various large mammal species and collar brands since 2001, researchers have observed fix rates in the range of 43–99% (Gau et al. 2004; Graves & Waller 2006; Hebblewhite et al. 2007; Lewis et al. 2007; Sager-Fradkin et al. 2007; Brooks et al. 2008; Heard et al. 2008) that”
A review of the effects of different marking and tagging techniques on marine mammals (2012, background): “It has been recommended that devices placed on animals should weigh less than 5% of the animal’s body mass (Macdonald 1978), while other researchers propose more graded recommendations (between 0.7% and 9%), depending on the study species (Brooks et al. 2008).”
