Knowledge graph centered on Telemetric heart rate monitoring in free-ranging marmots (Sciuridae) with 7 nodes and 11 connections. Top connected: vigilance behavior, dominance hierarchy, heart rate as metabolic indicator, psychological stress response, Kenneth B. Armitage.
Description
Surgical implantation of radio transmitters in the abdominal cavity with electrodes positioned on either side of the heart to monitor heart rate via radio telemetry during natural behaviors. Heart rate data is collected remotely and converted from interpulse intervals to beats per minute.
Typical Equipment
- Heart-rate radio transmitters (Telonics)
- Telonics TR-1-20 receiver
- Telonics TDP-2 digital data processor
Output Measurements
- heart rate (beats per minute)
- interpulse intervals (milliseconds)
