What is Catalogue record about?

## Dear colleague, Telemetry collars equipped with GPS functionality are a very attractive option in wildlife research, because they allow for tracking of movement and activity on a very fine temporal and spatial scale. However, one limitation of this technology is that GPS fix success rates and positional errors are highly variable, and are affected to unknown extent by collar orientation, canopy cover, terrain ruggedness, etc. These confounding factors often cause bias in the locations obtained, and in some cases might prevent the device from obtaining sufficient data to answer research questions, forcing to change or abandon project objectives. This has led some authors to urge for caution when opting for satellite collars. Unfortunately, most unsuccessful studies do not get published, their analysis not completed and/or their results discarded. The literature therefore is biased towards successful applications of satellite collars, giving the general impression that the technique is useful under most circumstances. With this survey, we want to give the chance to such unsuccessful studies to still contribute to the field of wildlife research. We want to tap into both unsuccessfu
