In animal ecology, interactions between individuals have been traditionally monitored with observations. However, this approach has limitations in terms of the amount of data that can be collected, and the potential disturbing effect of observers. Technological advancements have allowed the possibility to remotely monitor contacts between animals, that can be later evaluated as corresponding to ‘ecological interactions’. We review state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies, such as GPS telemetry and movement modelling, as well as introduce some more recent tools, including camera trapping, proximity logging, and an innovative tool: geo-referencing wireless sensor networks, and discuss the implications in the use of these tools for ecological study advancements
