Overview
- A study tracked 1,585 individuals from 42 species using GPS collars to analyze post-tagging behavior.
- Predators exhibited reduced activity, while herbivores often increased their movement after being tagged.
- Most animals returned to their normal behavior within four to seven days post-tagging.
- Animals living in areas with a high human footprint recovered more quickly from the tagging stress.
- The study emphasizes the need for longer tracking periods to ensure accurate data on wildlife behavior.
