A spherical-plot solution to linking acceleration metrics with animal performance, state, behaviour and lifestyle
Wilson, Rory Paul; Holton, Mark D.; Walker, James S.; Shepard, Emily L. C.; Scantlebury, Mike; Wilson, Vianney L.; Wilson, Gwendoline I.; Tysse, Brenda; Gravenor, Mike; Ciancio, Javier; McNarry, Melitta A.; Mackintosh, Kelly A.; Qasem, Lama; Rosell, Frank; Graf, Patricia Maria; Quintana, Flavio; Gomez-Laich, Agustina; Sala, Juan-Emilio; Mulvenna, Christina C.; Marks, Nicola J.; Jones, Mark W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: We are increasingly using recording devices with multiple sensors operating at high frequencies to produce large volumes of data which are problematic to interpret. A particularly challenging example comes from ... -
Diving behavior in a free-living, semi-aquatic herbivore, the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber
Graf, Patricia Maria; Wilson, Rory Paul; Sanchez, Lea Cohen; Hackländer, Klaus; Rosell, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Semi-aquatic mammals have secondarily returned to the aquatic environment, although they spend a major part of their life operating in air. Moving both on land, as well as in, and under water is challenging because such ... -
Observing animal behaviour and movement patterns remotely: A case study using bio-logging technology on free-ranging Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber)
Graf, Patricia Maria (Doctoral dissertations at the University College of Southeast Norway;10, Doctoral thesis, 2017-02-24)Understanding animal behaviour is a fundamental part of biology and has been revolutionized by the invention of bio-logging units, which can be used to study wild animals in their natural habitats. In this thesis, tri-axial ... -
The Use of Acceleration to Code for Animal Behaviours; A Case Study in Free-Ranging Eurasian Beavers Castor fiber
Graf, Patricia Maria; Wilson, Rory Paul; Qasem, Lama; Hackländer, Klaus; Rosell, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-28)Recent technological innovations have led to the development of miniature, accelerometercontaining electronic loggers which can be attached to free-living animals. Accelerometers provide information on both body posture ...
