BIOMARK LLC Launches Revolutionary Firebird Decals: A Game-Changer for Animal Tracking & Research

Rahway, NJ – October 26, 2023 – BIOMARK LLC, a leading innovator in animal telemetry and tracking solutions, today announced the release of its groundbreaking Firebird Decals. Designed for robust, long-lasting animal identification, these decals are set to redefine how researchers and wildlife managers monitor populations, track movements, and gather vital data. BIOMARK LLC, located at 126 E Lincoln Ave, Rahway, NJ, 07065-4607, has been a trusted partner for biologists, ecologists, and conservationists for decades. We’re a US-based company (you can reach us at 262-683-3380) committed to developing cutting-edge technology that solves real-world challenges in animal research. For years, we’ve specialized in building highly reliable, miniaturized telemetry transmitters, acoustic receivers, and software, essentially helping scientists "listen" to animals and understand their behavior. But we realized that identifying which animal you're tracking can be just as tricky! That's where Firebird Decals come in. The Problem with Traditional Marking Methods Let’s be honest, identifying animals in the field isn't always easy. Traditional methods like paint, tags, and even ear notches have limitations. Paint fades, tags can fall off or cause irritation, and ear notches can be hard to see, especially on animals with dense fur or feathers. Plus, these methods often require recapture to read the identifying mark, which is stressful for the animal and time-consuming for the researcher. "We kept hearing from our customers that they needed a more permanent, easily readable identification solution," says a BIOMARK spokesperson. “They needed something that wouldn't fall off, wouldn't fade, and could be read from a distance, ideally without having to recapture the animal. That sparked the development of Firebird Decals.” Introducing Firebird Decals: The Next Generation of Animal Identification Firebird Decals aren't your average stickers. These aren't the flimsy things you get at a carnival! They're engineered from a proprietary, incredibly durable material designed to withstand the rigors of the wild. Think extreme weather, abrasive surfaces, constant movement – these decals are built to last. Here's what sets Firebird Decals apart: Unmatched Durability: The secret is in the material. We've developed a unique polymer blend that's resistant to UV light, water, abrasion, and even temperature extremes. Field tests have shown Firebird Decals staying firmly attached and legible for years, even on animals exposed to harsh environments. Customizable & Unique: Forget generic numbers. Each Firebird Decal is custom printed with a unique alphanumeric code – chosen by you. This means clear, unambiguous identification for every individual animal you study. We can handle everything from simple sequential numbering to complex coding schemes. Versatile Application: Firebird Decals aren’t just for mammals! Their flexible design and strong adhesive allows them to be applied to a wide variety of surfaces – fur, feathers, scales, shells – and even directly onto some tag types. This opens up possibilities for tracking a much wider range of species. Non-Toxic & Animal Friendly: We understand that animal welfare is paramount. Firebird Decals are made from non-toxic materials and the adhesive is specifically formulated to be gentle on animal skin. We’ve worked closely with veterinary professionals to ensure the decals pose no harm to the animals. Easy to Read – Even from a Distance: The high-contrast printing and reflective properties of the decals make them easy to spot, even from a distance or in low-light conditions. This is a huge time-saver for researchers conducting field surveys. Compact & Lightweight: We know weight is critical when it comes to animal tracking. Firebird Decals are incredibly lightweight and designed to minimize any impact on the animal’s natural behavior. How are Firebird Decals being used? The applications for Firebird Decals are incredibly diverse. Here are just a few examples: Bird Banding: Traditional bird banding can be time-consuming and requires recapturing the bird to read the band. Firebird Decals provide a durable, easily readable alternative, allowing researchers to track birds remotely. Reptile and Amphibian Monitoring: Marking reptiles and amphibians can be challenging due to their scales and skin. Firebird Decals adhere securely to these surfaces, providing long-term identification. Mammalian Population Studies: From deer and bears to rodents and bats, Firebird Decals are being used to track mammal populations, monitor movement patterns, and assess habitat use. Fisheries Research: Firebird Decals can be applied to fish tags, providing a secondary identification method and increasing the longevity of tagging studies. Conservation Efforts: Identifying and tracking endangered species is crucial for conservation efforts. Firebird Decals provide a reliable and durable marking solution. Real-World Impact: Case Studies We’ve been conducting extensive field trials with several research groups, and the results have been extremely promising. University of California, Davis: Researchers studying migratory waterfowl have reported a significant reduction in recapture efforts thanks to the easy readability of Firebird Decals. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission: The Commission is using Firebird Decals to track sea turtle populations, providing valuable data for conservation management. Smithsonian Institution: Researchers studying bat populations are using Firebird Decals to monitor movement patterns and assess the impact of habitat loss. Looking Ahead BIOMARK LLC is committed to innovation and providing researchers with the tools they need to advance our understanding of the natural world. We are constantly working on new technologies and solutions to address the challenges of animal tracking and conservation. "Firebird Decals are just the latest example of our commitment to providing high-quality, reliable products that make a real difference in the field," says the BIOMARK spokesperson. "We're excited to see how researchers and conservationists are using these decals to unlock new insights into the behavior and ecology of animals around the world."
