This space-based approach is led by MARTIN WIKELSKI, the director of migration research at the max planck institute for animal behaviour in germany.

ICARUS has also shrunk the size of the transmitters the animals wear. these change will allow researchers to track flock of birds as they migrate over long distances. It combines technology which includes SOLAR and GPS units, and new technology designed for tracking small animals. Most tracking technologies can't be attached to creatures that weigh less than 100 grams. The new sensors advanced design also allows them t...
