The Motus Wildlife Tracking System has revolutionized how we record animal movement and behaviors in nature using collaborative automated radio telemetry. This workshop is aimed towards those who have or will soon install Motus stations or implement species tracking projects. We will demonstrate beneficial practices to design, install, and maintain functional, and robust Motus stations. The discussions may include collaborative project goals, planning strategies, troubleshooting, and more. Participants will receive useful materials, will have an opportunity to hear from Motus leaders from different geographic regions, all with their unique challenges, and will leave with an understanding of how to sustain their stations as well as the benefits of collaborative project goals for all who use the Motus network.
