Modern gadgets are smaller, cheaper, and more capable, allowing researchers to remotely track thousands of birds through satellite projects like ICARUS, building an expansive &#8220;Internet of Animals.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frigatebirds-as-aerial-surveyors\">Frigatebirds as Aerial Surveyors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Great Frigatebirds have emerged as ideal partners in climate research due to their soaring capabilities. Ecologist Morgan Gilmour discovered in 2022 that frigatebirds at Palmyra Atoll frequently ventured beyond protected boundaries. After joining NASA\u2019s animal tracking initiative, she and marine scientist Ian Brosnan realized frigatebirds&#8217; flights offered insights into the planetary boundary layer, a critical atmospheric zone affecting weather patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;This is something we can\u2019t get from remote regions of the ocean any other way,&#8221; <strong>says Gilmour<\/strong>. &#8220;It\u2019s a really great time to be an animal-tracking researcher.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-western-gulls-whale-crossing-guards\">Western Gulls: Whale Crossing Guards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Western Gulls, known for vomiting upon handling, surprisingly provide critical whale location data. Ecologist Scott Shaffer of San Jose State University found that gulls forage alongside whales feeding on krill near California\u2019s coast. Tracking gull movements can thus indicate whale positions, potentially reducing vessel strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;The birds I was catching were pretty much all yacking up krill,&#8221; <strong>Shaffer says. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Precise gull GPS data could significantly improve vessel safety by accurately predicting whale locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-curlews-as-undercover-agents-against-poaching\">Curlews as Undercover Agents Against Poaching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eurasian Curlews, facing severe hunting pressures in Europe, became accidental investigators of illegal hunting. Conservation biologist Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Jiguet used GPS tags on curlews to pinpoint poaching incidents in France. In 2022, GPS tags revealed poaching activities, leading directly to convictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;The following year, no tagged birds were shot,&#8221; <strong>says Jiguet<\/strong>. &#8220;So maybe the message was received.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cormorants-chart-coastal-oceans\">Cormorants Chart Coastal Oceans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With rising seas threatening coastal populations, cormorants have been employed as marine mapping technicians. Their deep-diving capabilities allow scientists to collect oceanographic data cheaply and effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Jim Lerczak of Oregon State University states<\/strong>,<em> &#8220;If you put one tag on a bird, you\u2019re going to make a lot of measurements through different seasons in the same location.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Cormorants provide vital data on underwater terrain and currents, enhancing storm forecasts and shipping safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yellow-legged-gulls-urban-waste-managers\">Yellow-legged Gulls: Urban Waste Managers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Barcelona, Yellow-legged Gulls&#8217; nests serve as indicators of urban litter hotspots.
