Σύνοψη	Acoustic telemetry is a remote tracking method in which small electronic transmitters attached to or implanted in animals emit unique acoustic signals detectable by underwater or terrestrial receiver networks, enabling real-time monitoring of animal movements, positions, and behavior over extended distances and times. Pioneered in fisheries research in the 1960s, acoustic telemetry is now standard for studying movement ecology, migration timing, and habitat use in aquatic and increasingly terrestrial systems.	Microhabitat Preference Analysis is a quantitative ecological method used to determine which fine-scale environmental features — such as vegetation structure, substrate type, temperature, or cover — animals actively select beyond what is randomly available to them. Widely applied in veterinary science, wildlife biology, and ethology, it compares the characteristics of locations an animal uses against those of randomly sampled available locations to infer habitat preference, avoidance, or random use.
