Research overview: GPS and biologging methods for urban felid behaviour

High-resolution GPS tracking combined with accelerometers and other biologgers has transformed the study of how felids behave near people, enabling fine-scale analysis of movement, activity, energetics and kill sites. This overview synthesises methodological developments from GPS-cluster diet reconstruction to accelerometer-based behaviour classification and energetic modelling, applied to pumas, leopards and caracals navigating urban edges. It examines how these tools reveal hidden costs of human proximity, temporal avoidance and crossing behaviour at roads, and the analytical challenges of big movement datasets. The synthesis frames biologging as a key technological driver of recent insight into felid responses to urbanisation.
