    Description

    The Department of the Environment, represented by Environment and Climate Change Canada has a requirement to install, assess and decommission telemetry receiver stations across Maritime Provinces, which will be linked to the Motus Wildlife Tracking System (Motus). The Motus Wildlife Tracking System (Motus) is an international collaborative research network that uses coordinated automated radio telemetry to facilitate research and education on the ecology and conservation of migratory animals. Researchers fit small lightweight radio-transmitters on animals such as birds, bats and large insects, and their signal is detected by receivers scattered around the landscape. The data from these receivers is then filtered, analysed, archived, and disseminated to all researchers and organizations in the network by the data custodian (Birds Canada). Each tag emits a unique signature so researchers can determine where animals go, how fast they transit between points (migration ecology), and how long they stay in an area (stopover ecology), and many other aspects of their behavior and conservation. The purpose of Motus is to facilitate landscape-scale research and education on the ecology and conservation of migratory animals.
