DESCRIPTION:Biologging devices (tags) are a valuable tool for studying an a
 nimal’s behaviour\, however the impact on animals carrying them\, have n
 ot yet been fully quantified. The wide range of tagged animals requires sp
 ecies specific guidelines such as weight limits of tags. This study contri
 butes to the understanding tag effects on animals by testing the effect of
  additional weight on small flying animals and furthermore establishing a 
 method of speed calculation by video analysis. In this thesis\, four indiv
 iduals of lesser noctules (<i>Nyctalus leisleri</i>) were equipped with sm
 all interchangeable weights and tested for their change in straight flight
  speed as a reaction to additional mass. Speed calculations were estimated
  from 3D trajectories of bats flying in a flight tunnel made from six sync
 hronised videos of the same flight. The range of relative tag mass (2-12%)
  did not result in a significant effect between relative tag- or total mas
 s on straight flight speed across the four individuals\, possibly due to i
 ndividual flight preferences and imprecise measurements of flight speed. W
 hile this method of speed calculation by video analysis proved to be effec
 tive\, further refinement is needed to be fully reliable.\nSpeaker: Till S
