A comparison of methods to attach external transmitters on the Imbricate Alligator Lizard, Barisia imbricata (Squamata: Anguidae)

Abstract

The use of telemetry in studies under natural conditions provides important ecological information about the behavior of animals in their environment (Naef-Daenzer et al. 2005, White and Garrott 1990). The diverse morphology of lizards, as well as their habits and habitats, require adapting the methods of attaching external transmitters to the needs of each family or species.
