Table 2 Rate of message reception and of successful decoding of received messages (in %) calculated for both receiving platforms overall (Motes and Argos satellites), or by location for whales in Southern California (SoCal) or sharks in Hawaii

From: Motes enhance data recovery from satellite-relayed biologgers and can facilitate collaborative research into marine habitat utilization
