DSC00749 UMass researchers are putting wireless communication devices on some turtle’s backs and gather data regarding their strolling.

The solar-powered computers are light enough so they don’t weigh the turtles down, and they don’t interrupt their mating habits[...]. Stuck to the shells of about 15 turtles found in spots near the Deerfield swamp, the gadgets will take periodic readings of the reptiles’ location and body temperature.
