Over the years, wildlife professionals have developed and perfected technology used to track species’ movements. From using color bands to track birds to GPS collars to follow ungulates, these devices have taught researchers more than they would have learned otherwise. In the Nov/Dec issue of The Wildlife Professional, we explore these changes throughout the decades and some of the ways researchers are using tracking devices to uncover information about animal migration and movement that has been used to inform management like highway crossings and purchases of land tracts.

Our special focus for this issue informs us about the U.S. Geological Survey’s Cooperative Research Unit program and how it helps facilitate partnerships and applied research.
