Peterson and Dorcas described the advantages of using data loggers to measure variation in the environment. We used a new, miniature temperature data logger to measure the temperatures of nests and hibernacula of desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii). Here we report on the accuracy, reliability, and ease of use of these data loggers.
