Laser fence is on its final months. More data and images are being analysed on these days!

Tags : 

Dr Jenny Sneddon is a Senior Lecturer at LJMU. She has been working with the rest of the LJMU team in monitoring the responses of ground animals to the utilisation of Agrilaser. In particular, here presented, two experiments that involved the observations of rabbits and squirrels in two of the UK trials. After the installation of the Agrilaser changes in the rabbit and squirrels behaviours were monitored with CCTV or trap cameras.

Replication tests continue in Campanarios

Tags : 

For several months our partner Volterra has been monitoring laser testing in cooperation with Naturaleza y Hombre Foundation (FNyH) in Campanarios de Azaba (Salamanca) nature reserve. Untill now the results have been irregular, with some animals reacting better than others. However, there is still a lack of consistency in the change of animals’ behavior. On the other hand, despite being target species, there have been some animals on which no replicas could be made with any type of laser, such as mongoose, genet and badger, despite being located by photo-trap cameras. The Volterra and FNyH teams will go on testing lasers of different colors in various circumstances (day, sunset, night) to keep learning about reaction patterns.

IRIS obtaining first results replication trials As Neves

Tags : 

by: IRIS uav services

Over the last few months the large scale trial at As Neves (Galicia) has slowly taken form. Even though the presence of wild animals like deer and wild boar is very irregular we have been able to shoot some new video material that we will share shortly. What is clear -like in other trials- that most animals do not give a clear reaction, both boars and foxes were sometimes dettered, but sometimes seemed to ignore the laser signal. This happened with both color lasers that we trialled. We will continue the trials the coming months to obtain more consistent results.
