Motus is a world-wide network of automated wildlife tracking stations. Over the last 5 years, the network has developed substantially in California. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is a major contributor to this network, through its development of Sentinel Sites for long-term monitoring of climate change, wildlife diversity and wildlife movement. Here, we provide an overview of the Department’s Motus project, summarize detections on our lands and outline future directions the project will take. We also provide a map of California station Motus project assignments. The Department manages 25 Motus station throughout the state. We have detected 30 species and are active partners on tagging projects involving 7 species. The detection summary will include lists of species detected and frequency, detection frequency over time, number of detections per station (controlling for time deployed), and several other variables. Over the next several years, the Department will retrofit 30 California Motus stations to detect very tiny 2.4 GHz tags, build 2 node networks for fine scale movement tracking, initiate tagging projects on additional species and continue to build out the network.
