Juvenile-specific high heat production contributes to the initial step of endothermic development in Pacific bluefin tuna [PDF]
Pacific bluefin tuna (Thynnus orientalis; PBT) can maintain their body temperature above ambient water (i.e., thermal excess) through high heat production and heat retention.

Refining Accelerometer‐Based Animal Behaviour Classifications With Sequence‐Informed Post‐Processing
Supervised machine learning has been used to detect fine‐scale behaviours from animal‐borne accelerometers by dividing the continuous sequences of behaviour into discrete segments and classifying each with a distinct behavioural category.

Simultaneous Monitoring of the Same Animals with PIT Tags and Sensor Nodes Causes No System Interference [PDF]
Recent technological advances have multiplied the variety of biologgers used in wildlife research, particularly with small-bodied animals. Passive integrated transponders (PIT) have been used for decades to log visits of tagged animals at reader-equipped

Addressing Power Issues in Biologging: An Audio/Inertial Recorder Case Study
In the past decades, biologging, i.e., the development and deployment of animal-borne loggers, has revolutionized ecology. Despite recent advances, power consumption and battery size however remain central issues and limiting factors, constraining the ...

Wireless logging of extracellular neuronal activity in the telencephalon of free-swimming salmonids
Background Salmonids return to the river where they were born in a phenomenon known as mother-river migration. The underpinning of migration has been extensively examined, particularly regarding the behavioral correlations of external environmental cues ...

The impact of shape and attachment position of biologging devices in Northern Bald Ibises
Background The impact of biologging devices on the aerodynamics or hydrodynamics of animals is still poorly understood. This stands in marked contrast to the ever more extensive use of such technologies in wild-living animals.

Behavioural Responses of a Large, Benthic Elasmobranch to Catch-and-Release Angling
Catch-and-release angling is widespread, but the impacts of this practice for captured individuals are understudied, especially among elasmobranchs.

Thinking small: Next-generation sensor networks close the size gap in vertebrate biologging.
Recent advances in animal tracking technology have ushered in a new era in biologging. However, the considerable size of many sophisticated biologging devices restricts their application to larger animals, whereas older techniques often still represent ...

Globally, habitat loss or degradation is a major threat to many species, and those with specific habitat requirements are particularly vulnerable. Many species of wading birds (Charadrii) are dependent upon intertidal sites to feed, but, as a result of ...
