Gary C. White Joel A. Schmutz 1990 <p><span>We used Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the effects of animal movement on error of estimated animal locations derived from radio-telemetry triangulation of sequentially obtained bearings. Simulated movements of 0-534 m resulted in up to 10-fold increases in average location error but &lt;10% decreases in location precision when observer-to-animal distances were &lt;1,000 m. Location error and precision were minimally affected by censorship of poor locations with Chi-square goodness-of-fit tests. Location error caused by animal movement can only be eliminated by taking simultaneous bearings.</span></p> application/pdf 10.2307/3809666 en Wiley Error in telemetry studies: Effects of animal movement on triangulation article
