Abstract The development of multisensor animal‐attached tags, recording data at high frequencies, has enormous potential in allowing us to define animal behaviour. volumes data, are pushing towards machine‐learning as a powerful option for distilling out behaviours. However, with increasing parallel lines systems become more likely processor limited and thereby take appreciable amounts time resolve We suggest Boolean approach whereby critical changes recorded parameters used sequential...

The social-ecological systems (SES) perspective stems from the need to rethink ways humans relate environment, given evidence that conventional conservation and management approaches are often ineffective in dealing with complex socio-environmental problems. SES approach conceives non-scientific scientific knowledge as equally necessary process of public policy formation. Thus, adoption must also serve make better decisions about what kind science technology would be 'public policy-ready'...
Between 2003 and 2012, 605 southern right whales (SRW; Eubalaena australis) were found dead along the shores of Península Valdés (PV), Argentina. These deaths included alarmingly high annual losses between 2007 a peak number (116) in significant across years calves-of-the-year (544 [89.9%]; average = 60.4 yr(-1)). Post-mortem examination pathogen testing performed on 212 whales; 208 (98.1%) 48.0% these newborns or neonates. A known probable cause death was established only small (6.6%)...

Penguins are major consumers in the southern oceans although quantification of this has been problematic. One suggestion proposes use points inflection diving profiles ('wiggles') for this, a method that validated estimation prey consumption by Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) Simeone and Wilson (2003). Following them, we used wiggles from 31 depth logger-equipped foraging four Patagonian colonies; Punta Norte (PN), Bahía Bustamente (BB), Puerto Deseado (PD) San Julián (PSJ),...
Abstract The energetic costs of animal movement change with body condition, although the consequences this for foraging efficiency are rarely considered. We deployed externally attached devices to Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) , known increase swimming via increased drag in a consistent manner, and noted, however, that behaviour varied dramatically between years. used our results construct an energetics-based model found small increases due attachment tags predicted...
We are increasingly using recording devices with multiple sensors operating at high frequencies to produce large volumes of data which problematic interpret. A particularly challenging example comes from studies on animals and humans where researchers use animal-attached accelerometers moving subjects attempt quantify behaviour, energy expenditure condition. The approach taken effectively concatinated three complex lines acceleration into one visualization that highlighted patterns were...
To create the science we need for ocean want in this United Nations Decade of Ocean Science Sustainable Development and to support Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity Ecosystem Services (IPBES) value assessment, systematically reviewed literature from past 20 years (N = 375) that used conceptualizations relational values coastal marine ecosystems Global South. We found four clusters research highlighting specific characteristics. Cluster one (participatory qualitative...
Highly specialized diving birds display substantial dichotomy in neck length with, for example, cormorants and anhingas having extreme necks, while penguins auks have minimized necks. We attached acceleration loggers to Imperial Phalacrocorax atriceps Magellanic Spheniscus magellanicus, both foraging waters over the Patagonian Shelf, examine difference movement between their respective heads bodies an attempt explain this dichotomy. The had head body attitudes movements that broadly...
Según un estudio prospectivo realizado entre 2013 y 2015 por el Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Productiva, aporte actual del sector marítimo al Producto Bruto Interno (PBI) país es sólo 1,5% (concentrado en la actividad pesquera). Pero se estima que 2035 podría alcanzar 10 15% PBI si realizara una mayor inversión investigación, innovación tecnológica desarrollo productivo. En este contexto nace iniciativa Pampa Azul, representa política Estado gran envergadura para instalar...
