Miniature backpack-like tags offer insight into the movement of hummingbirds

Summary

Nutrition label

93% Informative

Researchers attached tiny “backpack” trackers to hummingbirds in the Colombian Andes to learn more about their movements.

Previously, it was impossible to collect movement data for hummingbirds and other small animals in the region.

The tracking system will aid conservation efforts in this region by revealing the previously hidden movements of hummingbirds.

The research was funded by the U.K. Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council , the National Science Foundation , the Rufford Foundation and the University of Aberdeen .
