Telemetry is one of the most important tools of wildlife research. It provides information about dispersal, home range, survival, movement and many other ecological and biological aspects. Although many animals are fitted with telemetry-collars, few studies show the behavioural effects these collars may cause on the individual. The collar may lead to a significant change in behaviour, and thus the study results may not be representative for the wild population. Additionally, collars may affect animal welfare by causing physical pain and discomfort. The objective of this research was to quantify possible short-time behavioural effects of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) to telemetry-collars. This were done by recording the behaviour of 16 captive fox...
