Collars using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to calculate and store positions have become more frequently used in ecological studies, but it is still a costly method. We present a new way of using and inexpensive large-scale assembled GPS radiocollar to monitor giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) over short time intervals. The total cost of our unit, including the GPS and a VHF transmitter, was about US$490. We tested the adapted unit on a free-ranging giant anteater in the Pantanal of Brazil. The GPS unit stored 1,373 locations that allowed us to monitor movement and activity for 214.7 hours. |
