or neck (one individual) of the swans. A total of 116 location data were obtained. The four swans went north along Sakhalin, and stayed around the mouth of Amur River or in northern Sakhalin for several days to nearly a month. In three of the four swans, the battery exhausted around the mouth of the Amur River or in northern Sakhalin, but one swan was successfully tracked to the breeding ground in tundra. The life of the batteries was expected to be two months but was in fact 30-46 days. The shorter duration may be due to long exposure to cold weather in northern areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
