The First Attempt of Satellite Tracking on Occurrence and Migration of Bryde’s Whale (Balaenoptera edeni) in the Beibu Gulf

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Satellite-tagging is increasingly becoming a powerful biotelemetry approach to obtain remote measurement through tracking free-living cetaceans, which can fill knowledge gaps on cetaceans and facilitate conservation management.

Year-Round Dive Characteristics of Male Beluga Whales From the Eastern Beaufort Sea Population Indicate Seasonal Shifts in Foraging Strategies

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Dive behavior represents multiple ecological functions for marine mammals, but our understanding of dive characteristics is typically limited by the resolution or longevity of tagging studies.

Biological information [PDF]

open access: yesTheory in Biosciences, 2020
AbstractIn computer science, we can theoretically neatly separate transmission and processing of information, hardware and software, and programs and their inputs. This is much more intricate in biology. Nevertheless, I argue that Shannon’s concept of information is useful in biology, although its application is not as straightforward as many people ...

Biologging Physiological and Ecological Responses to Climatic Variation: New Tools for the Climate Change Era

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
In this mini-review, we discuss how biologging technology can be used to detect, understand, and forecast species' responses to climate change. We review studies of phenology, thermal biology, and microhabitat selection as examples to illustrate the ...

Evidence of a predation event on a tagged Mediterranean spearfish (Tetrapturus belone; Pisces, Istiophoridae), inferred from pop-up satellite tagging data

open access: yesAquatic Living Resources, 2020
The Strait of Messina is located at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea and is considered a biodiversity hotspot and an obligatory seasonal passage for different pelagic species such as sharks, marine mammals, and billfishes.

Evaluating Contributions of Recent Tracking-Based Animal Movement Ecology to Conservation Management

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The use of animal-born sensors for location-based tracking and bio-logging in terrestrial systems has expanded dramatically in the past 10 years. This rapid expansion has generated new data on how animals interact with and respond to variation in their ...

Regional movements of satellite‐tagged whale sharks Rhincodon typus in the Gulf of Aden

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
To gain insight into whale shark (Rhincodon typus) movement patterns in the Western Indian Ocean, we deployed eight pop‐up satellite tags at an aggregation site in the Arta Bay region of the Gulf of Tadjoura, Djibouti in the winter months of 2012, 2016 ...

A potential new biological marker of the biological age [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2013
For many years, data have been accumulated which point to a significant similarity between the nature of the brain damage in the aging process (in the case of dementia or even in outwardly healthy elderly people) and the brain damage caused by prion diseases of humans and animals (Sobel, 1970; Fraser and McBride, 1985; Masters et al., 1985; Gajdusek ...

Use of Acceleration and Acoustics to Classify Behavior, Generate Time Budgets, and Evaluate Responses to Moonlight in Free-Ranging Snowshoe Hares

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Technological miniaturization is driving a biologging revolution that is producing detailed and sophisticated techniques of assessing individual behavioral responses to environmental conditions.
