Using Raspberry Pi microcomputers to remotely monitor birds and collect environmental data

Technological innovations have expanded our ability to understand ecological systems and conserve biodiversity at a time when many species are at risk from climate change and habitat loss. One technology that is predicted to greatly benefit the field of avian ecology is the microcomputer. Raspberry Pi microcomputers are low-cost alternatives to personal computers and are able to house a variety of environmental sensors. Raspberry Pis have...
