*Full Title:* Animal Tracking Signals: Stories of the Development of Radiotelemetry in Minnesota *Description:* This is the history of radio tracking of wild animals that began as the dream of Dr. Dwain W. Warner, curator of Birds at the Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota. He watched closely when in 1957, the Russians sent the dog, Laika, into space and were prepared to monitor her physiological condition as she circled the earth. He felt this technology could be used to study wild animals in their natural environment, and he set out to accomplish that goal. The creativity of the many people involved in developing and using radio telemetry at Cedar Creek Natural History Area was astounding. What began as studies done at Cedar Creek evolved to studies being done all over the world and resulted in one of the largest radio telemetry companies in the world. It includes the writing of many of those people who were directly involved in the exciting development of radio tracking. This technology allowed knowledge of wild animal behavior that had never before been possible. *Author:* Carolyn Ukura Kuechle *Page Count:* 256 pages *ISBN-10:* 0-87839-340-4 *ISBN-13:* 978-0-87839-340-4 <p><strong>Full Title:</strong> Animal Tracking Signals: Stories of the Development of Radiotelemetry in Minnesota</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> This is the history of radio tracking of wild animals that began as the dream of Dr. Dwain W.
