The CyberTracker software continues to contribute to a number of ongoing scientific research projects. Researchers are also using the art of tracking to gather data on animal behavior and conducting Animal Track Counts.
Mark Elbroch et al investigated the importance of fieldwork over predictive modelling in quantifying predation events of carnivores marked with GPS technology.

Sage Raymond started with observation. She tracked coyotes for 800 km to study their behaviour and found their dens by following their trails. She discovered that cognitive and personality traits appear to underlie coyote persistence in the face of environmental novelty. She concluded that urban adaptation is a synthetic process, that recruits behaviour, cognition, and ecology.

Derek Keeping et al compared two widely practiced standards for counting animals - aerial strip surveys and ground line transects - with interpreted counts of animal tracks.

Dolphins and porpoises face serious anthropogenic threats in coastal habitats. These include bycatch in fisheries; exposure to noise, plastic and chemical pollution; disturbance from boaters; and climate change. Generating reliable abundance estimates is essential to assess sustainability of bycatch in fishing gear or any other form of anthropogenic removals and to design conservation and recovery plans for endangered species.

SANParks, which include 19 protected areas, varying in biodiversity and environmental gradients, require an adaptive management system in order to appropriately and effectively monitor and plan their parks. In order to do so, they tailor cybertracker to fit the various needs of their projects, which include accurate data collection, capacity building for non-literate employees, and support for local community projects.

Though large scale protected areas have become a crucial concept in conservation, the implementation of such projects are often constrained by cost. It becomes crucial, then, for parks to develop a cost-effective method of sampling which can serve the dual purpose of both monitoring and planning conservation areas. By using CyberTracker data collected in Kruger National Park, Hui et al. have compared various models of sampling in order to determine the most accurate and least effort intensive mode of gathering data.

Monitoring the interaction between wildlife and livestock is crucial in better understanding the spread of foot-and-mouth disease in South African cattle.

In Kruger National Park, Foxcroft et al. use data collected by rangers using CyberTracker devices to paint an accurate and detailed picture of alien plant distributions, in order to provide recommendations for more appropriate monitoring of plant species on different scales.

Data collected by rangers using CyberTracker devices has shown that invasive plants in Kruger National Park are propagated by flowing water coming from outside the park. This information can now be used to prioritize intervention areas, allowing for a more effective use of resources within the park.
