This spotted turtle is fitted with our legacy SI-2F transmitter — now known as the XM3B. In this setup, the researcher has bolted the unit directly to the carapace for secure long-term tracking. Depending on the species and study needs, the transmitter can also be wired or glued to the outer edge of the shell. 🐢
Flexible attachment methods like these help researchers safely monitor turtle movement, habitat use, and behavior in the field.
