This project is organized by Professor Carlsmith to explore biopower options for satellite and cell phone microdevices for long distance biotracking of insects.
Possible applications are:		 Dragonflies and monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles, from Wisconsin to Mexico. This project will explore biopower options for satellite and cell phone microdevices for long distance tracking of insects.
