Biologging around the clock

The understanding of the interplay of movement, behaviour and physiology that biologging offers has applied relevance for a range of fields, including evolutionary ecology, wildlife conservation and behavioural ecology. In recognition of this, the Journal of Animal Ecology has an upcoming Special Feature on Biologging  (submissions due 20th September). A great advantage of biologging is that it allows data collection from some of the toughest environments on Earth. … Continue reading Biologging around the clock

A Collaborative Approach to Mapping Marine Megafauna Movements

The understanding of the interplay of movement, behaviour and physiology that biologging offers has applied relevance for a range of fields, including evolutionary ecology, wildlife conservation and behavioural ecology. In recognition of this, the Journal of Animal Ecology has an upcoming Special Feature on Biologging  (submissions due 20th September). One of the issues when studying the movements of large animals is the fact that they cover large distances. … Continue reading A Collaborative Approach to Mapping Marine Megafauna Movements

Biologging in a remote world

The understanding of the interplay of movement, behaviour and physiology that biologging offers has applied relevance for a range of fields, including evolutionary ecology, wildlife conservation and behavioural ecology. In recognition of this, the Journal of Animal Ecology has an upcoming Special Feature on Biologging  (submissions due 20th September). There are many different types of biologging devices. Here, Aimee Hoover from the University of Maryland tells us about … Continue reading Biologging in a remote world

Using crowd-sourced funding to track snakes

The understanding of the interplay of movement, behaviour and physiology that biologging offers has applied relevance for a range of fields, including evolutionary ecology, wildlife conservation and behavioural ecology. In recognition of this, the Journal of Animal Ecology has an upcoming Special Feature on Biologging  (submissions due 20th September). Unfortunately, animal-borne tags don’t come cheap. This was the problem recently-completed PhD student Ashleigh Wolfe faced … Continue reading Using crowd-sourced funding to track snakes

The wandering albatrosses of the Crozet Islands

Henri Weimerskirch has been studying the wandering albatrosses that nest on the Crozet Islands for over 50 years. Out in the current issue of the journal is a new Synthesis paper Linking demographic processes and foraging ecology in wandering albatross—Conservation implications by Henri giving an overview of this unique 60-year study system. The paper presents the work carried out on albatross addressing questions on the links … Continue reading The wandering albatrosses of the Crozet Islands

Open Call for Papers: Special Feature on Biologging

With the recent advances in GPS and sensor technology, including three-axis accelerometers, it has become possible to simultaneously track multiple animals with a high accuracy while recording detailed information about their physiological status and measuring their energy expenditures. By providing a huge amount of accurate data in real time, biologging enables the uncovering of the hidden lives of animals in the wild. The recent explosion of … Continue reading Open Call for Papers: Special Feature on Biologging
