Ultra light-weight tags starting from less than 1gram to support even small species
User-configurable to perfectly match your research question
Small scale deployment with only two tags or deploying networks up to 100 tags - dulog works in small and large scale applications
Tags can be reused, just replace or recharge the battery
Some features are not like you need them? - dulog is highly customizeable and can be tailored to your needs
Either fully packed with features or kept as small as possible to allow the use on even the smallest animals. There are multiple versions of the dulog tags available to best suit your needs.
Depending on the configuration and the battery that is chosen the tag can be as light as 0.6 g.
The tags can detect other tags in a range of around 5 meters (proximity detection). This can be used to identify social structures in a group of animals or contact between animals and resources like food or roosting sites. The proximity detection can also be used as a simple localization or presence detection in a certain area.
Integrated sensors give an insight about the behavior/activity of the animals.
To access the recorded data the dulog tags support remote data download. So retrieval of the tags is not necessary. If they are retrieved however, they can simply be reused. Just change or recharge the battery.
Depending on the animal you want to use the system on, there are multiple ways of attaching. Here, the tag glued to the back of a common noctule bat (Nyctalus noctula) is shown, using a small pouch for attachment. In case you have questions about how to best attach the dulog tag to the animals you research we will assist you in developing a suitable fixation.
Apart from bats there have been studies conducted with lizards and studies planned with birds.
