Radio Telemetry

Scope and Contents The Electronics Unit played a pivotal role in NWRC’s wildlife research history. Since the 1960s, biologists at the Center have utilized telemetry equipment to gather information about wildlife migration, behavior, physiological processes, and mortality. In conjunction with researchers, the Electronics Unit designed innovative and unique electronic devices and developed transmitters that were more reliable, longer lasting, and farther reaching than the equipment commercially available at...

Materials in this collection document many of the research activities at the station including rodent control efforts and efforts to control invasive species such as coqui frogs and brown tree snakes. In addition to documents, this collection also includes hundreds of slides and photographs of personnel conducting lab and field work in Hawaii and Guam. Series I...

Abstract Kathy Fagerstone began her career with the Center in 1971, becoming the first female physical science technician at the Research Center. During her 40 year career with the Center, Kathy advanced from a technician, to a wildlife biologist, to a research wildlife biologist, to project leader, and finally to a program manager. Her research interests included risk assessment and small mammal ecology of prairie dogs, ground squirrels and black-footed ferrets. However, the focus of her work...

Abstract

Paul L. Hegdal worked as a wildlife biologist at the Denver Wildlife Research Center from the 1959 to 1991. This group of records contains materials related to studies on hazards to nontarget wildlife associated with the use of rodenticides, rodent resistant cable materials, and rodent problems in Latin America.

Scope and Contents

Series V contains eight boxes of research records dated 1945 to 1999. Subjects in the records include a 1945-1950 study on coyotes in Yellowstone National Park, data on Compound 1080, coyote teeth x-rays, antelope, livestock protection dogs, and jackrabbits.

Scope and Contents Materials in series VIII include photos, slides, vhs tapes, and artifacts dated 1965 to 2008. One box of images (photos and slides) feature subjects such as telemetry studies, coyotes, wolves, sheep, staff and facilities in Millville, arson events, and the dedication of the coyote sculpture in 2000. One box of vhs tapes related to coyotes and research at the field station is also included. As well, this series includes two boxes of artifacts, one containing samples of coyote teeth at...
