17th Annual Sahelo-Saharan Interest Group Meeting
2 days of talks on biodiversity conservation in the Sahara and in the Sahel
Data Tools for conservation monitoring
Katherine MERTES, Conservation Biologist - Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute
May	4	– 6,	2017
Post-release monitoring of Scimitar-horned
oryx reintroduced to the Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi
Achim Game Reserve, Chad
- An animal's decision to move is a
response to both internal (hunger,
thirst) and external (food abundance,
temperature) conditions
- Animals do not move simply to
change their geographic location, but
to change the conditions
associated with their location
- GPS collars record these movement
decisions, collecting large numbers of
locations over time
- From these movement data, patterns
of space use emerge
Oryx released August 2016
• Multiple institutions,
multiple management
backgrounds
• Released during wet
season
Oryx released January
2017
• Single institution with pen-
based management
• Released during dry
season
Next	questions
• Natural and optimal movement strategies for
oryx in this system?
• Migration vs. residency
• Area requirements?
• individuals, groups, viable populations
• How well do reintroduced scimitar-horned oryx
track local and/or regional variation in peak
vegetation growth?
• Follow, surf, jump IRG
• Are oryx movement paths determined by local
conditions or spatial memory?
• Track energy expenditure over time since
release
• gains in energy efficiency over time?
• Identify times or places in which oryx increase
energy expenditure
• dangerous areas, stressful seasons, etc.
T.	Wacher,	
ZSL
Oryx movement data (to date)
• 33 collared individuals
• 2 collar failures
• >150,000 locations
• Released animals have moved
over 10,000km2
• Moved >90km from release site
• Group sizes from 1-16
individuals

  • 3. - An animal's decision to move is a response to both internal (hunger, thirst) and external (food abundance, temperature) conditions - Animals do not move simply to change their geographic location, but to change the conditions associated with their location - GPS collars record these movement decisions, collecting large numbers of locations over time - From these movement data, patterns of space use emerge

  • 10. Next questions • Natural and optimal movement strategies for oryx in this system? • Migration vs. residency • Area requirements? • individuals, groups, viable populations • How well do reintroduced scimitar-horned oryx track local and/or regional variation in peak vegetation growth? • Follow, surf, jump IRG • Are oryx movement paths determined by local conditions or spatial memory? • Track energy expenditure over time since release • gains in energy efficiency over time? • Identify times or places in which oryx increase energy expenditure • dangerous areas, stressful seasons, etc. T. Wacher, ZSL
  • 11. Oryx movement data (to date) • 33 collared individuals • 2 collar failures • >150,000 locations • Released animals have moved over 10,000km2 • Moved >90km from release site • Group sizes from 1-16 individuals
