Biological Earth observation with animal sensors

Walter Jetz et al.

Summary: Space-based tracking technology using low-cost miniature tags is providing fine-scale animal movement data at near-global scale. When combined with remotely sensed environmental data, it offers valuable insights into habitat integrity and connectivity for conservation and human health, creating a global network of animal sentinels for environmental change.

Continuous on-board behaviour classification using accelerometry: A case study with a new GPS-3G-Bluetooth system in Pacific black ducks

Hui Yu et al.

Summary: Accelerometer data have become increasingly important for studying animal behaviors and energetics over the past two decades. However, the large amount of raw data can be burdensome in terms of storage and power consumption. On-board data processing and compression have shown great potential in reducing these problems and opening up new possibilities for ecological and behavioral research.

Fine-scale foraging effort and efficiency of Macaroni penguins is influenced by prey type, patch density and temporal dynamics

G. J. Sutton et al.

Summary: The study found that Macaroni penguins mainly dived during the day and utilized two strategies to target different prey types. Despite breeding in large colonies, individuals seemed to be solitary foragers and did not engage in coordinated behavior with conspecifics as seen in other group foraging penguin species.

Metabarcoding insights into the diet and trophic diversity of six declining farmland birds

Xabier Cabodevilla et al.

Summary: This study used a metabarcoding approach to analyze the diet composition of six significant farmland birds in European cereal pseudo-steppes, revealing that they mainly consume plants with some species also consuming arthropods. The study highlights the importance of natural and semi-natural vegetation in providing a diverse food source for these declining species throughout the year.

How animals distribute themselves in space: energy landscapes of Antarctic avian predators

Juan F. Masello et al.

Summary: Energy landscapes play a crucial role in the spatial ecology and decision-making of animals, with organisms choosing areas with minimized energy costs and maximized energy gain. Studies on different populations and species have shown that lower foraging costs in certain areas may lead to higher breeding success, influencing population trends.

Overlap between marine predators and proposed Marine Managed Areas on the Patagonian Shelf

Alastair M. M. Baylis et al.

Summary: This study focused on the overlap between marine higher predator distribution and proposed marine management areas to provide information for decision-making. It found extensive overlap between proposed marine managed areas in the Falkland Islands and colonial breeding marine predator habitats, with potential key biodiversity areas identified as hot spots.Incomplete tracking data coverage biased the identification of key biodiversity areas using kernel density methods, and habitat model predictions provided less biased estimates for potential key biodiversity areas.

Food chain, parasites and climate changes in the high Arctic: a case study on trophically transmitted parasites of common eider Somateria mollissima at Franz Josef Land

Kirill Galaktionov et al.

Summary: This study fills a knowledge gap regarding the impact of parasites on nearshore ecosystems in the Arctic, providing the first data on the diet and infection of helminths in common eiders in Franz Josef Land. The high infection intensity of cestodes and acanthocephalans in the eiders seems to have a negative effect on the bird population, especially as the transmission of helminths is promoted by climate warming.
