Many years ago we had gps/gsm 'pod trackers' for the dogs: nice design but gps gobbles battery, so always needed charging and using telco means subscriptions (our initial versions had free time included). So, what are the alternatives
Requirements: long battery life (because sods law says they'll escape when you forgot to charge something), non $lol subscription pricing (if any), waterproof

Animal Biotelemetry is an open access peer-reviewed journal that publishes the results of studies utilizing telemetric techniques (including biologgers) to understand physiological, behavioural, and ecological mechanisms in a broad range of environments (e.g. terrestrial, freshwater and marine) and taxa. The journal also welcomes descriptions and validations of newly developed tagging techniques and tracking technologies, as well as methods for analyzing telemetric data.
Impacts of tagging:
more paper highlights from Animal Biotelemetry 2024, this set of papers looks into effects of tags or tagging on subjects or data collected, or review the suitability of devices:
7.1 Tagging effects on Pink-footed geese (Anser brachyrhynchus)
Effects of capture and GPS-tagging in spring on migration timing and reproduction in Pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus. KHT Schreven et al. Animal Biotelemetry 12:10 (2024)
7.2 Tracking migratory shorebirds:

7.4 GPS tags on waterfowl:

I wish more studies included proper controls in terms of effects on subjects and effects on data (biases). We always have to start with the assumption that unless disproven there will be effects and biases. Absence of effects will have to be demonstrated for species, sex, life history stage, device, season, etc..

5. Basking shark telemetry:
Assessing the potential of acoustic telemetry to underpin the regional management of basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus). J Thorburn et al. Animal Biotelemetry 12:20 (2024).
From the abstract: "Acoustic telemetry can provide valuable space-use data for a range of marine species. Yet the deployment of species-specific arrays over vast areas to gather data on highly migratory vertebrates poses formidable challenges, often rendering it impractical. To address this issue, we pioneered the use of acoustic telemetry on basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) to test the feasibility of using broadscale, multi-project acoustic receiver arrays to track the movements of this species of high conservation concern through the coastal waters of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland."
Notably (my opinion) this is another example of a project-specific use of a proprietary system that may not be able to detect acoustic transmitters using different encoding, so check out the other paper highlight that I tooted about earlier:
Open Protocols, the new standard for acoustic tracking: results from interoperability and performance tests in European waters. E Aspillaga et al. Animal Biotelemetry 12:40 (2024).

4. Technology for monitoring fish behavior in relation to offshore marine developments:
Performance of a fine-scale acoustic positioning system for monitoring temperate fish behavior in relation to offshore marine developments. ON Shipley et al. Animal Biotelemetry 12:36 (2024).
From the abstract: "Rapid global expansion of offshore wind farms, tidal, and wave technologies signifies a new era of renewable energy development. While a promising means to combat the impacts of climate change, such developments necessitate fine-scale monitoring of biological communities to determine impacts associated with construction, operation, and eventual decommission."
The authors evaluate array performance of a gridded acoustic tracking system. Notably (my opinion) this is an example of a local-scale proprietary system, so check out the other paper highlight that I tooted about earlier:

3. Impact of body size on PIT tag retention:
A novel indicator to assess PIT tag retention in an aquatic amphibian: impact of body size. JM Hutton et al. Animal Biotelemetry 12:37 (2024).
From the abstract: "The comprehensive study of organisms is often hindered by the difficulty of consistently capturing, detecting, and tracking all life stages and age classes..... In this study, we developed a novel indicator to assess the field retention status of PIT tags inserted into the tail tissue of S. intermedia." (the lesser siren)....

2. PIT tags in fisheries research:
Independent testing of PIT tags for fisheries research: a framework for standardization and performance evaluation. B Beckley et al. Animal Biotelemetry 12:38 (2024).
From the abstract: "This study aimed to document a comprehensive testing framework for PIT tags as a model for the broader biotelemetry community and to showcase how independent evaluations can validate the performance of new PIT tag offerings against established regional performance criteria. Independent testing and adherence to regionally applied standards were key components of this effort."

1. Just out:
Open Protocols, the new standard for acoustic tracking: results from interoperability and performance tests in European waters. E Aspillaga et al. Animal Biotelemetry 12:40 (2024).
This addresses a really important issue: so much money and effort is put into the deployment and servicing of marine acoustic tracking receivers, yet most of these cannot pick up transmissions from all deployed, prim arily due to the proprietary nature of transmission encoding. Implementing open protocols would greatly enhance the detectability across platforms, and thus the usefulness of any tracking and monitoring effort.
