DECODING ANIMAL BEHAVIOR THROUGH HIGH-TECH TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES: A MULTI-SPECIES PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Understanding animal behavior is essential for various fields, including ecology, conservation, and animal welfare. Recent advancements in high-tech tracking technologies have revolutionized our ability to study animal behavior in unprecedented detail. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the applications of high-tech tracking technologies in decoding animal behavior from a multi-species perspective. We explore the range of tracking technologies available and their contributions to understanding behavioral patterns, movement ecology, social interactions, and habitat preferences across diverse animal taxa. By examining the impact of these technologies, we gain valuable insights into previously inaccessible aspects of animal behavior and enhance our understanding of ecological dynamics. This paper highlights the significance of high-tech tracking technologies in decoding animal behavior and emphasizes the importance of considering multiple species in behavioral research.
