Unveiling the 'Lazy' Positional Transmitter: Statoliths
Scientists have just unveiled a new way to monitor the movement of lazy animals. A team of researchers has designed a new positional transmitter, called statoliths, that can be implanted into the bodies of animals to provide real-time data on their movements. Statoliths are able to measure an animal’s location and orientation with a high degree of accuracy, allowing scientists to better understand the behavior of animals that don’t move much. This new technology could be used in a variety of applications, including studying how animals adapt to climate change and habitat loss.
