What is Motus?
Motus stations are specialized receivers used in radio telemetry to track the movements of flying animals, such as birds, bats, and insects. They allow researchers to study and identify important migration routes, stopover areas, and wintering locations and provide valuable insights on animal behaviour.
Motus is a collaborative research network led by Birds Canada and partners with scientists and organizations across the globe.
