A new acoustic telemetry tag that identifies carrier mortality by monitoring activity level
Abstract We present a new acoustic telemetry tag capable of detecting whether its carrier stops moving for long enough to presume the organism has died, and of reporting the time elapsed since movement ceased. The tag uses existing environmental sensor technology together with an algorithm with user‐specifiable thresholds, and importantly, can separate

Mediterranean ecosystems face complex, multi‐trophic impacts from global‐change drivers, yet responses are often studied in isolation. Using the Doñana Protected Area as a case study, we illustrate how anthropogenic pressures on key species like cork oaks and rabbits, as well as increases in species like wild boar and invasive crayfish, lead to ...

Abstract Zooplankton, a key component in lake ecosystems, are affected by planktivore grazing pressure, phytoplankton, and climate‐driven factors such as water temperature and, in lakes at mid‐high latitudes, the duration of ice coverage. Efforts to assess the relative effects of climate and planktivores on zooplankton are complicated in many large ...
