Challenges of measuring body temperatures of free-ranging birds and mammals [PDF]
The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter in physiological, behavioural and ecological research.

The role of individual behavioral traits on fishway passage attempt behavior
Variations in behavioral traits are widely recognized to drive animal behaviors exhibited within a population. However, information on how behavior traits influence behavior in anthropogenically modified habitats is lacking.

A programmable microsystem using system-on-chip for real-time biotelemetry [PDF]
A telemetry microsystem, including multiple sensors, integrated instrumentation and a wireless interface has been implemented. We have employed a methodology akin to that for System-on-Chip microelectronics to design an integrated circuit instrument ...

Electromagnetic radiation from ingested sources in the human intestine between 150 MHz and 1.2 GHz [PDF]
The conventional method of diagnosing disorders of the human gastro-intestinal (GI) tract is by sensors embedded in cannulae that are inserted through the anus, mouth, or nose.

European seabass show variable responses in their group swimming features after tag implantation
The usefulness of acoustic telemetry on the study of movements, interactions, and behaviors has been revealed by many field and laboratory studies. The process of attaching acoustic tags on fish can, however, impact their physiological, behavioral, and ...

Dietary Prebiotics and Bioactive Milk Fractions Improve NREM Sleep, Enhance REM Sleep Rebound and Attenuate the Stress-Induced Decrease in Diurnal Temperature and Gut Microbial Alpha Diversity. [PDF]
Severe, repeated or chronic stress produces negative health outcomes including disruptions of the sleep/wake cycle and gut microbial dysbiosis. Diets rich in prebiotics and glycoproteins impact the gut microbiota and may increase gut microbial species ...

Highly variable basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) diving behavior in the lower Bay of Fundy, Canada
Diving behavior in basking sharks, the largest obligate ram filter feeding planktivore, is highly dependent on their location. In the Bay of Fundy, where basking sharks congregate in the boreal summer and autumn, the sharks’ copepod prey are located deep
