Telemetry Exam 44 Questions with Verified Answers
Cardiac Output (CO) - CORRECT ANSWER 4-8 L/min, SV x HR
SA node - CORRECT ANSWER pacemaker 60-100 bpm
AV Node/Junction - CORRECT ANSWER 40-50
Ventricles - CORRECT ANSWER 20-30
PR interval - CORRECT ANSWER 0.12-0.20
QRS complex - CORRECT ANSWER 0.04-0.12 (longer than 0.12 is block)
QT interval - CORRECT ANSWER 0.34-0.43
Heart Rate Sequence Method - CORRECT ANSWER 300-150-100-75-60-50
telemetry - CORRECT ANSWER the science and technology of automatic measurements transmission of data by radio or other means from remote sources to receiving stations for recording and analysis
human treatment of animals - CORRECT ANSWER state or federal permits
- institution animal care use committee
- IACUC
wildlife sampling techniques - CORRECT ANSWER camera trapping
nets
wire traps
cages
radio telemetry influence on behavior - CORRECT ANSWER study behavior post attachment
consider periods of stress
use appropriate attachment
pros of radio telemetry - CORRECT ANSWER alternative is GPS- expensive
this inexpensive
radio vs. GPS - CORRECT ANSWER triangulation vs. trilateration
- GPS is more accurate
- greater initial cost
- less travel and labor
- easier to locate moving target
- better data processing
transmitter - CORRECT ANSWER can be internal or external
internal infrequently used
external: collar, harness, glue
dispersal - CORRECT ANSWER when which individuals how far
home range - territories
habitat use - dens, nests, types
human impacts
survivorship & mortality
behavior interactions
migration timing and route
radio telemetry (monitoring movement) steps - CORRECT ANSWER - transmitter
- radio collar
- receiver
- antenna
- compass
radio telemetry - CORRECT ANSWER the transmission of information from a transmitter on a free ranging wild animal
telemetry - CORRECT ANSWER Attaching a device to an organism that relays biological information
-Can monitor location, behavior, physiology
-Information relayed via ultrasonic or radio signals to receiver
Transmitter - CORRECT ANSWER a device attached to an animal that emits a signal
Hertz (Hz) - CORRECT ANSWER a measure of the frequency of a signal; one cycle/second
Ultrasonic signal - CORRECT ANSWER 20-300 KHz (AM radio = 550-1,600 KHz)
Radio signal - CORRECT ANSWER 27-300 MHz (FM radio = 88-108 MHz)
Transponder - CORRECT ANSWER transmitter sends signal in response to one sent to it
-PIT (passive integrated transponder) tag
-Used to identify fish
Transmitter Signals (1) - CORRECT ANSWER Battery powers transmitter: (majority of volume and weight)
Continuous signal
Transmitter Signals (2) - CORRECT ANSWER Pulsing signal, most common:
-Conserves battery life
-Transmitter generally 'on' 2-4%
-Pulse characteristics can identify individuals:
2% if weight of fish
External Attachment - CORRECT ANSWER -Drag and balance issues
-Can snag objects
-Can cause abrasions
Internal Attachment - CORRECT ANSWER -No drag, cannot snag, less likely to cause abrasions
-Stomach insertion through mouth by tube or ingested bait: may be regurgitated or excreted
-Surgical impantation into body cavity: best method for long-term attachment, 'Sterile' conditions, some fish expel trans-intestinally (channel and blue catfish)
Methods of Tracking - CORRECT ANSWER -Boat
-Airplane or triangulation (radio signal)
-Appearance at remote, automated receivers
-Satellites: Pelagic marine animals (whales, sea turtles, porpoises, tuna) that periodically surface or are near surface
-Used to monitor salmon movement up spawning streams in remote areas
