The effect of frequency of telemetry locations on movement‐rate calculations in arctic caribou

Abstract There is a trade‐off between the frequency of telemetry locations (fix interval) and battery life when using Global Positioning System (GPS) collars. In general, decreasing the fix interval lowers the effective battery life of the collar. However, the strong relationship between fix interva...
