Estimates for energy expenditure in free‐living animals using acceleration proxies: A reappraisal
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 …

Observing the unwatchable through acceleration logging of animal behavior
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 …
