Development of a novel physiology tag to measure oxygen consumption in free-ranging seabirds [PDF]
, 2022 This project took initial steps to develop a new type of tag that can measure energy expenditure of seabirds. To do this, the project adapted a Near-infrared spectroscopy system for humans, that can measure muscle oxygen saturation, and deployed the new ...
