There has recently been great interest in the use of accelerometers onboard electronic
transmitters to characterise various aspects of the ecology of wild animals. We review use …

Acoustic telemetry (AT) has become ubiquitous in aquatic monitoring and fish biology,
conservation, and management. Since the early use of active ultrasonic tracking that …

Simple Summary Studies investigating whether a captive environment is meeting the needs
of the species housed are relatively common among captive mammals. However, studies …

Sleep is widespread across the animal kingdom. However, most comparative sleep data
exist for terrestrial vertebrates, with much less known about sleep in amphibians, bony …

Tourism-related feeding of wildlife can result in detrimental, human-induced changes to the
spatial distribution, social behaviour and health of target species. The feeding of sharks as …

Highlights•We used acoustic telemetry to record fine scale social dynamics in reef manta
rays.•Social affiliations were assorted into spatial communities.•Social structuring persisted …

Predators display rhythms in behavior and habitat use, often with the goal of maximizing
foraging success. The underlying mechanisms behind these rhythms are generally linked to …

Shark populations have suffered dramatic declines across the world as a result of
overfishing. Marine protected areas (MPAs) can help restore overfished populations; …

This paper presents the feature extraction, selection and K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN)
algorithm to classify behaviors of sharks based on the data collected by tri-axial acceleration …

Sleep is known to occur in most, if not all, animals studied thus far. Recent studies
demonstrate the presence of sleep in flatworms and jellyfish, suggesting that this behaviour …
