Welcome to the Wireless Sensor Arrays for Ecology Home Page
| | The goal of this page is to help ecologists working with wireless networking share experiences and resources.
We also appreciate the contribution of presentations you may have made. Contact jporter@LTERNET.edu to arrange for exchanges of large presentations.
This page resulted from recommendations at the 2003 Long-Term Ecological Research All-Scientists' Meeting in Seattle, WA. |

In May 2009 an article in BioScience reviews the use of advanced sensors to advance ecological research and characterizes the use of sensors and wireless networks at field stations of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS).
A summary of the survey of OBFS sites, on which part of the paper was based, is available HERE.

A workshop on "Exploring the Effect of Scale-Dependent Processes on Ecological Systems using Networked Sensors" was conducted on September 22, 2006 at the Long-Term Ecological Research Network's "All Scientists' Meeting" in Estes Park, CO. Presesentations from that workshop are now available on this web site.

This link describes an automated telemetry system currently running on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Republic of Panama. By August 2005 we have deployed 186 transmitters on 144 animals from 16 species from antbird to ocelot, building a database of millions of records on animal activity, location, and interaction. Bearings are recorded every 1.5 seconds from 7 automated receivers mounted on 40m towers above the canopy. These are sent via a 900mhz multipoint wireless network to the laboratory, where they are saved in a web accessible PostgreSQL database.

The Wireless Sensor Arrays for Ecology workshop at ESA was very successful. The presentations from that workshop are now posted on this web site.
Participants in the workshop, and others, are urged to add web links to products, vendors etc. that they have found useful. To add links, register yourself with the web site (if not already done) and go to the "web links" module. There you can click on the "add links" button.
