Summary: The use of PIT tags in urodeles for population and disease ecology studies is popular, but lack of reporting and standardization of tagging procedures and unknown predictors of tag loss pose challenges. This study analyzed existing literature and experimentally evaluated tagging methods, finding a lack of reporting and standardization, as well as no significant predictors of tag loss.

Summary: Individuals exhibit repeatable differences in behaviour, known as animal personality, which can have ecological and evolutionary consequences. Animal personality can lead to biased population level inferences if (re-)capture bias is not assessed. In this study, using previously captured black-capped chickadees, we found no evidence of personality-related (re-)capture bias except for a potential effect of sex. Individuals with higher baseline feeding rates and shorter latencies to resume feeding had a greater likelihood of being recaptured, suggesting the existence of recapture biases related to energy requirements.

Summary: Passive integrated transponder (PIT) and visible implant elastomer (VIE) tags are commonly used for identification in reptiles, amphibians, and fish. This study evaluated the pathologic changes associated with these tags in marine toads, showing that PIT tags had better retention and minimal histologic changes compared to VIE tags, which were found to migrate to the kidneys in 98% of the toads causing inflammation and damage over time. Based on these findings, the authors recommend the use of PIT tags over VIE tags for adult anurans when feasible.

Summary: This paper proposes a new video anomaly-detection model called FTS-LSTM, which utilizes an LSTM autoencoder network to generate future frames on normal video streams and then detects anomalies on testing video streams using the FTS detector and GE detector. The model achieves high-speed and competitive anomaly-detection performance by combining the FTS loss and GE loss as two detectors on multiple datasets.

Summary: This article introduces a highly integrated passive wireless sensing system based on the extended electronic product code (EPC) Gen2 protocol, which supports concurrent data streams from multiple sensors through sensor tags and a reader. The system utilizes multiple subcarrier multiple access (MSMA) and a novel subcarrier frequency calibration method to achieve synchronous transmission of multisensor data.

Summary: The study compared the effects of tagging PIT tags in the operculum musculature or the abdominal cavity in Atlantic salmon post-smolts. The results showed that there was no significant difference in mortality rate and tag loss between fish tagged in the operculum musculature and the abdominal cavity, suggesting that placing PIT tags in the operculum musculature is a viable alternative.

Summary: Using passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags, band-tailed pigeons were recaptured at 3 locations in New Mexico to estimate survival. Survival rates were estimated using a Barker multi-state joint live and dead encounters and resighting model. The results are consistent with other studies and suggest that PIT tags could be an effective alternative method for monitoring the survival of the band-tailed pigeon population.

Summary: RFID technology is popular in ornithological studies for collecting large amounts of data, but few studies validate the accuracy of the data; the authors used video validation to confirm RFID data accuracy and observed behavioral differences among tagged bird species at feeders.

Summary: The study found that Stonecats can be successfully tagged with PIT tags in a laboratory setting with low levels of mortality and tag loss. The research also showed that tag age and Stonecat TL have significant effects on tag loss, with tags being lost relatively soon after tagging and tag loss decreasing with increasing fish TL.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficiency of tagging juvenile European eels with implanted PIT tags or ELATs. The results showed that tagging juvenile eels >16 cm with these small tags is feasible, with high survival rate. Although the growth of tagged and control fish differed, there was no significant difference between the three groups.

Summary: A novel antenna design has been developed for detecting fish carrying PIT tags. This lightweight and flexible antenna offers a larger reading range than other antennas and has been successfully used in monitoring the migration of steelhead smolts. The efficiency of the new antenna is comparable to standard antennas, and it allows for easier transportation and deployment.

Summary: This paper presents a study on the performance evaluation of T2T systems in the context of UHF passive RFID technology. The results show that the modulation depth is a crucial evaluation metric for T2T systems, and it is strongly affected by three main parameters: switching impedances, the geometrical configuration of tag antennas, and the position of the external source. The study provides insights into the interactions of these parameters and guidelines for defining system specifications based on quantified results.
