Bio-logging science: sensing beyond the boundaries (2004, unknown): “This might include the availability of food (Block, 2003; Grémillet et al., 2003; Hooker and Boyd, 2003) but it could equally be the physical features of the water column in which an animal is swimming (Block et al., 2001; Georges and Guinet, 2003; Fedak, 2004).”
When three per cent may not be three per cent; device-equipped seabirds experience variable flight constraints (2012, background): “Not only do such devices provide essential information on the biology and ecology of marine species and their role in the oceans (Croxall 1987), but they may also provide quantitative data on a range of physical parameters (Furness and Camphuysen 1997; Fedak 2004; Piatt et al. 2007), leading to a be”
Mesoscale eddies as foraging area of a deep-diving predator, the southern elephant seal (2010, methodology): “A pseudo-random method to schedule the transmission of an unbiased data sample of the stored records was used (Fedak 2004).”
Prying into the intimate details of animal lives: use of a daily diary on animals (2008, background): “…et al. 2007) or acceleration (e.g. Yoda & Ropert-Coudert 2007), (3) energetics (using heart rate as a proxy, e.g. Butler et al. 2004) (4) the environmental conditions surrounding the animal (Fedak 2004) and (5) animal physiology (such as blood oxygen content; Cooke et al. 2004, Ponganis 2007).”
Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, result): “Further, the potentially exciting role of animal-borne sensors has been advocated within operational oceanography (Fedak 2004), and McMahon et al. (2005) have recently demonstrated that thermal data gathered by diving leatherbacks were reliable when compared with those gathered using the ARGO buoy…”
Change in the Beaufort Sea ecosystem: Diverging trends in body condition and/or production in five marine vertebrate species (2015, unknown): “Well-funded, long-term research programs, using marine mammals and seabirds as ‘‘educated oceanographic sampling platforms’’ could be key to understanding the changes that are occurring in the Arctic marine ecosystem (Smith, 2001; Lydersen et al., 2002, 2004; Fedak, 2004).”
Southern elephant seals from Kerguelen Islands confronted by Antarctic Sea ice. Changes in movements and in diving behaviour (2007, methodology): “This new generation of logger transmits the collected information by satellite almost in real time and allows interpretation of the pelagic behaviour in terms of the immediate oceanic environment ( Fedak, 2004; McMahon et al., 2005b).”
Estimating space‐use and habitat preference from wildlife telemetry data (2008, background): “To address the lack of environmental data some modern tags also collect data about the animals’ environment (Fedak 2004), but such valuable technological improvements tell us nothing about conditions at points not visited by the tagged animals.”
Animal ecology meets GPS-based radiotelemetry: a perfect storm of opportunities and challenges (2010, background): “Continued technological developments have broadened the potential (and definition) of biotelemetry devices to allow sampling of environmental variables around tagged animals (Fedak 2004; Hooker et al. 2007).”
