It is fundamentally important for many animal ecologists to quantify the costs of animal activities, although it is not straightforward to do so. The recording of triaxial acceleration by …
Background Accelerometers are powerful sensors in many bio-logging devices, and are increasingly allowing researchers to investigate the performance, behaviour, energy …
Background Fine-scale data on animal position are increasingly enabling us to understand the details of animal movement ecology and dead-reckoning, a technique integrating motion …
The behavior of many wild animals remains a mystery, as it is difficult to quantify behavior of species that cannot be easily followed throughout their daily or seasonal movements …
Bio‐logging technology is now the golden standard for assessing how individual animals change their movement and behavior over time and space. Three‐dimensional …
In large livestock farming it would be beneficial to be able to automatically detect behaviors in animals. In fact, this would allow to estimate the health status of individuals, providing …
Mechanisms that determine how, where, and when ontogenetic habitat shifts occur are mostly unknown in wild populations. Differences in size and environmental characteristics of …
Defined broadly, biologging is any collection of data from one or more sensors using an animal-borne tag (Boyd et al., 2004; Hooker et al., 2007). This term can be applied to a wide …
Two prime issues can detrimentally affect animals that have been equipped with tags:(i) the effect of the capture and restraint process; and (ii) the effect of the tag itself. This work …
