Animal-borne acoustic data alone can provide high accuracy classification of activity budgets
Background Studies on animal behaviour often involve the quantification of the occurrence and duration of various activities. When direct observations are challenging (e.g., at night, in a burrow, at sea), animal-borne devices can be used to remotely ...
