Welcome to Bio-logging4! 
Increased pressure is being placed on wildlife as our global climate changes, habitats are modified and resources are consumed. Understanding the function of species and populations in ecosystems, their key habitats and resource requirements and their capacity to adapt to a changing environmentare essential in the management of ecosystems. Bio-logging, the application of electronic recording devices to animals, is proving valuable in providing such information.
The Fourth International Science Symposium on Bio-logging aims to:
- Advance the use of bio-logging technology to understand the behaviour, physiology and ecology of animals and their place in the environment, including the effects of climate change.
- Promote diversity, quality, originality and cross-disciplinary partnerships in the development of observation systems that integrate biological, ecological, physiological and physical data.
For the first time Bio-logging will be held in the Southern Hemisphere in Hobart on the island state of Tasmania in Australia! Hobart is Australia's southernmost city, located on the banks of the River Derwent and flanked by the Wellington Range. It has a rich, colonial, seafaring past evident in its architecture. Waterfront warehouses once utilised by whalers, entrepreneurs and merchants now house dockside cafes, artist’s studios and restaurants where you can sample the best produce, wines and boutique beers Tasmania has to offer. Join us for Bio-logging 4 and enjoy the unique experience of what Australia's southernmost state has to offer.
