论文摘要
射频识别（RFID）是一种日益流行的无线技术，可让研究人员监视现场固定位置的野生鸟类种群。我们的实验室基于Raspberry Pi Zero W（一款低成本的单板计算机）开发了配备了RFID的Birdfeeder，该底板从带被动集成的反对（PIT）标签的鸟类收集连续访问数据。每个鸟源都有一个栖息的天线，该天线连接到由便携式电池供电的Raspberry Pi上的RFID读取器板。当一只标记的鸟降落在饲料上吃鲈鱼时，其独特的代码将存储在Raspberry Pi上的日期和时间。这些鸟类饲养者仅需要基本的焊接和编码技巧才能组装，并且可以轻松配备其他硬件，例如摄像机和麦克风。我们概述了组装硬件并为鸟类饲养者设置操作系统的过程。然后，我们描述了一个示例实施的鸟类饲养者，以跟踪纽约皇后学院校园的雀科（Haemorhous Mexicanus）。
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.
