Summary
Custom-made Wireless Sensor Nodes attached to individual iguanas will enable remote tracking of Sister Islands Rock Iguanas (SIRI) on Cayman Brac in the Cayman Islands. Tracking devices will provide data on movements, habitat use, and ecology of SIRI on Cayman Brac to close long-standing knowledge gaps in the biology of this Critically Endangered species. Data collected will help identify areas and habitats most important for the survival, reproduction, and foraging of SIRI so that effective conservation measures can be implemented.
