Temporal niche partitioning as a novel mechanism promoting co-existence of sympatric predators in marine systems
Niche partitioning of time, space or resources is considered the key to allowing the
coexistence of competitor species, and particularly guilds of predators. However, the extent …

Identification of animal movement patterns using tri-axial accelerometry
An animal's behaviour is a response to its environment and physiological condition, and as
such, gives vital clues as to its well-being, which is highly relevant in conservation issues …
