Biologging for marine megafauna conservation: animal tracking, environmental monitoring, and modelling approaches.
… Biologging—the use of electronic tags to study animal movement, behaviour, physiology—has emerged as a critical tool for understanding animal ecology and informing conservation strategies. This thesis explores the application of state-of-the-art biologging technologies to address major …

On a wildlife tracking and telemetry system : a wireless network approach
Motivated by the diversity of animals, a hybrid wildlife tracking system, EcoLocate, is proposed, with lightweight VHF-like tags and high performance GPS enabled tags, bound by a common wireless network design. Tags transfer information amongst one another in a multi-hop store-and-forward fashion, …

Drivers of variation in the migration and foraging strategies of pelagic seabirds
… a particular type of movement strategy, whereby animals may travel remarkable distances in order to take advantage of seasonality in resource availability or to avoid arduous winter conditions; however, this can be at a cost in terms of increased mortality. Indeed, anthropogenic threats in …

Animal Reconstruction with 3D Morphable Models
Across many sectors concerned with animal husbandry, there is a growing need for automated tools for continuously monitoring animals under our care. In farmyards, zoos, veterinary centres, animal research facilities and many others, humans are typically responsible for identifying signs of disease …

Animal personality and the social context: the role of boldness and sociability variation in schooling fish
Throughout the animal kingdom, individuals often differ consistently from one another in how they cope with their environment. In particular, consistent behavioural variation, known as animal personality, is a substantial driver of a range of important ecological and evolutionary processes. As most …
