TL;DR: A brave new world with a wider view Researchers have long attempted to follow animals as they move through their environment, but such efforts were limited to short distances and times in species large enough to carry large batteries and transmitters, while new technologies have opened up new frontiers in animal tracking remote data collection.

TL;DR: The potential contribution of recreational fish harvest around the world may represent approximately 12 percent of the global fish harvest as discussed by the authors, but the lack of global monitoring and compiling of statistics on recreational fishing participation, harvest, and catch-and-release has retarded our ability to understand the magnitude of this fishing sector.

TL;DR: In this article, a review suggests that this technology has immense potential for research in basic and applied animal ecology and that efforts to incorporate biotelemetry into broader ecological research programs should yield novel information that has been challenging to collect historically from free-ranging animals in their natural environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an emergency recovery plan to bend the curve of freshwater biodiversity loss, which includes accelerating implementation of environmental flows; improving water quality; protecting and restoring critical habitats; managing the exploitation of freshwater ecosystem resources, especially species and riverine aggregates; preventing and controlling nonnative species invasions; and safeguarding and restoring river connectivity.
