Accuracy, precision, and observation rates of global positioning system telemetry collars
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of telemetry collars and the global positioning system to monitor rocky mountain elk. Results showed that proper information by the manufacturer was important for accurate results and other external factors also played an important role in accuracy.

Testing global positioning system performance for wildlife monitoring using mobile collars and known reference points
Article Abstract:
The study results from performance of the Lotek 3300 global positioning system (GPS) collar for medium-sized mammals reveal that mobile collars performed less well than their static counterparts due to frequent changes of GPS position and orientation.
