Dipsosaurus dorsalis
A temperature sensitive tracking telemetry system, developed for a study of free-ranging desert iguanas (Dipsosaurus dorsalis), is described. The externally mounted transmitter weighs about 4 g, and transmits signals for 70-100 m for more than 30 days. The transmitter design is adaptable to research projects requiring telemetry of animal location and under certain conditions, environmental temperature.
