There are many electronic tracking technologies such as VHF\/UHF telemetry, light-level geolocation, ARGOS satellite telemetry and GPS tracking. To reach the desired level of information retrieval requires the planning of adequate equipment effort and coverage, which depends on the properties of the system. We propose an equipment arrangement model consisting of a given number of receiver stations in a two-dimensional space in which the animals move according to a central place movement model. The objective is to characterize how the transmission of tracking data depends on the movement of the animals and the design of the equipment deployment: quantity and location of the receiver stations and their associated reception radius. We also implement the model using real trajectories of southern elephant seals and Australian sea lions publicly available online and tracked during the years 2010\u20132012. We characterize the data transmission based on different equipment configurations and we obtained analogous results to the theoretical model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21020326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,6]],"date-time":"2021-01-06T20:45:42Z","timestamp":1609965942000},"page":"326","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Design of Deployment Strategies to Monitor the Movement of Animals with Passive Electronic Devices"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1305-9293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laila D.","family":"Kazimierski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de F\u00edsica Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos IFISC (CSIC-UIB), 07122 Palma de Mallorca, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6593-5032","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge P.","family":"Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de F\u00edsica Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos IFISC (CSIC-UIB), 07122 Palma de Mallorca, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto Mediterr\u00e1neo de Estudias Avanzados IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB), 07190 Esporles, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1133-1289","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00edctor M.","family":"Egu\u00edluz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de F\u00edsica Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos IFISC (CSIC-UIB), 07122 Palma de Mallorca, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19050","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0808918105","article-title":"An emerging movement ecology paradigm","volume":"105","author":"Nathan","year":"2008","journal-title":"Proc.
