Precision Technologies are emerging in the context of livestock farming to improve
management practices and the health and welfare of livestock through monitoring individual …

Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

The paradigm‐changing opportunities of biologging sensors for ecological research,
especially movement ecology, are vast, but the crucial questions of how best to match the …

It is fundamentally important for many animal ecologists to quantify the costs of animal
activities, although it is not straightforward to do so. The recording of triaxial acceleration by …

Behavior is an important mechanism of evolution and it is paid for through energy
expenditure. Nevertheless, field biologists can rarely observe animals for more than a …

Background Advances in bio-telemetry technology have made it possible to automatically
monitor and classify behavioural activities in many animals, including domesticated species …

Purpose Our recent study of three accelerometer brands in various ambulatory activities
showed that the mean amplitude deviation (MAD) of the resultant acceleration signal …

Mobile animal groups provide some of the most compelling examples of self-organization in
the natural world. While field observations of songbird flocks wheeling in the sky or anchovy …

Most marine mammal strandings coincident with naval sonar exercises have involved
Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris). We recorded animal movement and acoustic …

Use of accelerometers is now widespread within animal biologging as they provide a means
of measuring an animal's activity in a meaningful and quantitative way where direct …
