Submerging technologies in aquatic systems: exploring the application of paired tracking and imaging tools for investigating species ecology

Innovative scientific tools offer new ways to gather information on aquatic species’ movement patterns, behaviour, physiology, and environment via different types of technology (e.g., electronic tags, video cameras, and biosensors). Despite the popularization and subsequent techn...

Using movement data from satellite telemetry to infer nesting status and breeding propensity of a colonial breeder, the American common eider (Somateria mollissima dresseri)

Abstract Background American common eiders ( Somateria mollissima dresseri ) are ecologically and culturally important sea ducks in northeastern North America. Female eiders may not breed every year, making breeding propensity (the proportion of sexually mature females breeding i...
