基于Raspberry Pi的配备RFID的喂鸟器,用于远程监测野生鸟类种群
A Raspberry Pi-based, RFID-equipped birdfeeder for the remote monitoring of wild bird populations
摘要:
射频识别(RFID)是一种日益流行的无线技术,使研究人员能够从野外的固定位置监测野生鸟类的数量。我们的实验室开发了一种基于Raspberry Pi Zero W的配备RFID的喂鸟器,Raspberry Pi Zero W是一种低成本的单板计算机,它可以从带有被动集成转发器(PIT)标签的鸟类中收集连续的访问数据。每个喂鸟器都有一个栖息天线连接到Raspberry Pi上的RFID读取器板,由便携式电池供电。当一只被标记的鸟降落在栖木上从喂食器中进食时,它的唯一代码将与日期和时间一起存储在Raspberry Pi上。这些喂鸟器只需要基本的焊接和编码技能来组装,并且可以很容易地配备额外的硬件,如摄像机和麦克风。我们概述了组装硬件和设置喂鸟器操作系统的过程。然后,我们描述了一个示例实现的喂鸟跟踪家雀(Haemorhous mexicanus)在纽约市皇后学院的校园。
英文摘要:
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an increasingly popular wireless technology that allows researchers to monitor wild bird populations from fixed locations in the field. Our lab has developed an RFID-equipped birdfeeder based on the Raspberry Pi Zero W, a low-cost single-board computer, that collects continuous visitation data from birds tagged with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags. Each birdfeeder has a perch antenna connected to an RFID reader board on a Raspberry Pi powered by a portable battery. When a tagged bird lands on the perch to eat from the feeder, its unique code is stored with the date and time on the Raspberry Pi. These birdfeeders require only basic soldering and coding skills to assemble, and can be easily outfitted with additional hardware like video cameras and microphones. We outline the process of assembling the hardware and setting up the operating system for the birdfeeders. Then, we describe an example implementation of the birdfeeders to track house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) on the campus of Queens College in New York City.
