Device and method for combining mark recapture with animal behavior surveillance

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and method for combining mark recapture with animal behavior surveillance. The device comprises infrared monitoring equipment, a data storage device, an inducing coil, a data transmission device, a power source, and a PIT chip, and is characterized in that an output end of the infrared monitoring equipment is connected with an input end of the data transmission device through a data cable; the inducing coil is fixed to the ground through a fixing drill rod, the inducing coil can induce the PIT chip, and information of the PIT chip can be transmitted to the data transmission device connected through a data cable; an output end of the data transmission device is connected with the data storage device through a data cable. Through the use of the device, mark recapture in animal study and a wild animal monitoring process can be combined, the workload of study personnel is reduced, the study personnel does not need to go to the site by themselves, daily activities of the animals cannot be influenced, and the study personnel can learn animal behaviors at any time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method combining sign recapture and animal behavior monitoring, belonging to the field of wild animal exploration. Background technique [0002] There are three major problems in wildlife research: "invisibility, inaccuracy, and difficulty in repeating". In order to study individual animal behavior and group behavior, the first one needs to mark the individual animal; the second needs to know when and where the individual animal is? With which individual? What behavior did the animal exhibit? The mark-recapture method is often used in wildlife surveys at home and abroad. The advantage is that the population size can be inferred, and the disadvantage is that individual behavior cannot be known. When observing wild animals, infrared monitoring cameras are often used at present. The advantage is that individual animal behavior can be photographed. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to identify specific indivi...

Problems solved by technology

In order to study individual animal behavior and group behavior, the first one needs to mark the individual animal; the second needs to know when and where the individual animal is? With which individual? What behavior did the animal exhibit? The mark-recapture method is often used in wild animal surveys at home and abroad. The advantage is that the population size can be inferred, and the disadvantage is that it is impossible to know the individual behavior.

When observing wild animals, infrared monitoring cameras are often used at present. The advantage is that individual animal behavior can be photographed. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to identify specific individual ID, gender, and reproductive status for small mammals.
