Estimating Position from Millisecond Samples of GPS Signals (the “FastFix” Algorithm)

open access: yesSensors, 2020
A new approach to GPS positioning is described in which the post-processing of ultra-short sequences of captured GPS signal data can produce an estimate of receiver location.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

Fine-scale GPS tracking to quantify human movement patterns and exposure to leptospires in the urban slum environment

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Background Human movement is likely an important risk factor for environmentally-transmitted pathogens. While epidemiologic studies have traditionally focused on household risk factors, individual movement data could provide critical additional ...

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Hiding in Plain Sight: Rethinking the Size and Complexity of Iron Age Hillforts in NW Iberia Thanks to Aerial Archaeology and Geophysics

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper tackles one key limitation in the analysis of Iron Age communities in the Northwestern Iberian Peninsula: the limited exploration of areas beyond the fortified settlements known as castros (hillforts). The vast majority of archaeological studies have focused exclusively on the areas inside the walls of these settlements, which are ...

Comparison of GPS Collars and Solar-Powered GPS Ear Tags for Animal Movement Studies

open access: yesSmart Agricultural Technology
Animal-borne tracking systems have provided unique insights into when, where, why, and how animals move and interact with the environment. GPS neck collars have been the standard for animal tracking studies, especially for mid to large-size mammals ...
