From Crossbow’s blog:
It is always difficult to determine behavior without observing one’s subject in its natural environment. If noticed, the subject may change its behavior or just run away. For example, I pride myself on being able to type at least 65-85 wpm. But of course, as soon as someone walks in and watches me I make mistakes and begin typing like a 5-year old… To observe anything in its natural habitat is one of the hardest challenges to overcome when trying to monitor many species in our world today. However, there is a group of individuals at University of Florida and University of Missouri, Colombia who are using Crossbow’s wireless sensor networks products to try and understand the role of free-ranging wildlife in maintaining diversity, tracking invasive species and the spread of emerging diseases by obtaining unobtrusive visual information that prove vital when studying the behaviors and interactions of wildlife species in their environment.
