We’re doing this fun study in Alaska to test the idea that seed-filled bears scats are highly important resources for voles and mice. We tagged loads of voles and mice and constructed these RFID readers to detect them if they visit bear scats. Only thing….a curious bear decided to play with our RFID reader just a few days into our first trial of the reader! Let’s hope these things last for the full study!
