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 …

Tri-axial dynamic acceleration as a proxy for animal energy expenditure; should we be summing values or calculating the vector?
Dynamic body acceleration (DBA) has been used as a proxy for energy expenditure in
logger-equipped animals, with researchers summing the acceleration (overall dynamic body …

Construction of energy landscapes can clarify the movement and distribution of foraging animals
Variation in the physical characteristics of the environment should impact the movement
energetics of animals. Although cognizance of this may help interpret movement ecology …

Accelerometry predicts daily energy expenditure in a bird with high activity levels
Animal ecology is shaped by energy costs, yet it is difficult to measure fine-scale energy
expenditure in the wild. Because metabolism is often closely correlated with mechanical …

Accelerometers can measure total and activity‐specific energy expenditures in free‐ranging marine mammals only if linked to time‐activity budgets
Energy expenditure is an important component of foraging ecology, but is extremely difficult
to estimate in free‐ranging animals and depends on how animals partition their time …

High accuracy at low frequency: detailed behavioural classification from accelerometer data
Accelerometers are a valuable tool for studying animal behaviour and physiology where
direct observation is unfeasible. However, giving biological meaning to multivariate …

A comparison of techniques for classifying behavior from accelerometers for two species of seabird
The behavior of many wild animals remains a mystery, as it is difficult to quantify behavior of
species that cannot be easily followed throughout their daily or seasonal movements …
