I don’t have all the facts, only what is in the articles. Based on the
articles, it looks like the monitoring team might need to do more work testing
the transmitters on similar/similarly behaving species to have a baseline on
the performance of the transmitters in the field. To borrow a line, to have
one transmitter fail shortly after it is fitted is unfortunate. To have two
fail in similar circumstances appears to be careless.
