Collar deployment and programming
From February-March 2019, 3 female and 4 male spotted hyenas were collared (Savanna Tracking GPS-GSM FlexTrack), representing 5 clans in LNNP and Soysambu Conservancy. Six of these collars (still representing 5 clans) remained in function for most of the study period. Fixes were taken between 6pm-7am, which are the primary active hours of hyenas in this study area. Hourly fix rates were taken from February-April 2019, after which 5-minute fixes were used until May 2020. After this point, the collars were reprogrammed for 1-hour fixes, 24 hours per day.
