Studying the behaviour and sensory ecology of marine mammals using acoustic recording tags: a review (2009, methodology): “Meanwhile, tag technology has improved considerably, and now a range of sensors can be incorporated into tags small enough to use on most marine mammals and many larger fish (Davis et al. 1999, Johnson & Tyack 2003, Mitani et al. 2003, Miyamoto et al. 2004, Cooke et al. 2004).”
Do Marine Mammals Experience Stress Related to Anthropogenic Noise (2007, background): “…Johnson & Tyack (2004) exposed foraging North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) tagged with a Digital Acoustic Recording Tag (DTag: Johnson & Tyack, 2003) to vessel noise, whale social sounds, silence, and a synthetic signal designed to alert the whales to the presence of vessels…”
A Nonlinear Filtering Approach for the Attitude and Dynamic Body Acceleration Estimation Based on Inertial and Magnetic Sensors: Bio-Logging Application (2011, neutral): “It is important to note that, although our approach did not exploit GPS data, it is able to reconstruct the orientation of the hand (given by the MTi-G) with a small error.”
Insights into the Underwater Diving, Feeding, and Calling Behavior of Blue Whales from a Suction-Cup-Attached Video-Imaging Tag (CRITTERCAM) (2007, positive): “Suction-cupattached archival tags have begun to provide more details about underwater behaviors, including feeding and social behaviors (Goldbogen et al., 2006; Oleson et al., 2007a; Johnson and Tyack, 2003; Baird et al., 2005, 2006).”
Combining data from a multisensor tag and passive sonar to determine the diving behavior of a sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) (2003, methodology): “A digital tag (DTAG), developed by the authors at WHOI [ 22 ], was used to record sound and movement patterns directly from the whale.”
Shallow food for deep divers: Dynamic foraging behavior of male sperm whales in a high latitude habitat (2008, methodology): “Sperm whales were tagged with high-resolution digital archival tags (Dtag), which include a hydrophone, a depth sensor, a temperature sensor, and 3-axis accelerometers and magnetometers (Johnson and Tyack, 2003).”
An update to the methods in Endangered Species Research 2011 paper "Estimating North Pacific right whale Eubalaena japonica density using passive acoustic cue counting" (2011, methodology): “Marques et al. (2009) required acoustic dive Dtag (Johnson & Tyack 2003) data from geo-referenced animals in order to estimate the detection probability, as a function of distance and animal–hydrophone angle, through a binary regression approach.”
DOES INTENSE SHIP NOISE DISRUPT FORAGING IN DEEP-DIVING CUVIER'S BEAKED WHALES (ZIPHIUS CAVIROSTRIS)? (2006, methodology): “Click and buzz sounds from the whale were recorded at the base of each of eight deep dives ( Johnson et al. 2004).”
Estimating animal population density using passive acoustics (2012, methodology): “The nd dive starts detected during a period of time T , coupled with two multipliers, dive rate (rd), obtained from DTAG data, and average group size s, obtained from visual observations, were used to estimate beaked whale density in the area of size A by D̂ = ndŜ A T r̂d (10) In a similar exercise”
Ontogeny in marine tagging and tracking science: technologies and data gaps (2012, background): “This can include 3-axis accelerometers to reconstruct underwater behavior (Johnson & Tyack 2003, Ware et al. 2006, Shepard et al. 2008, Okuyama et al. 2009), stomach temperature sensors, and jaw based accelerometers or magnetic triggers to identify foraging events (e.g. Myers & Hays 2006, Bestley…”
Vessel noise effects on delphinid communication (2009, methodology): “We deployed digital acoustic recording tags (DTAGs; Johnson & Tyack 2003) on short-finned pilot whales Globicephala macrorhynchus (pilot whales hereafter) off the coast of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, during 2003 and 2005.”
The impacts of anthropogenic ocean noise on cetaceans and implications for management (2007, background): “Even when a cetacean has been tagged with a device that measures received levels of sound (e.g., Dtag; Johnson and Tyack 2003), these levels can only be accessed once the tag has been recovered from the whale as the data are archived.”
Fine-scale prey aggregations and foraging ecology of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae (2009, background): “It is attached to an animal via suction cups with a programmable release (Johnson & Tyack 2003).”
Extreme diel variation in the feeding behavior of humpback whales along the western Antarctic Peninsula during autumn (2013, methodology): “In May 2009 and 2010, we deployed multi-sensor suction-cup tags (digital acoustic recording tags, DTAGs; Johnson & Tyack 2003) on humpback whales in Wilhelmina Bay, on the western Antarctic Peninsula, to measure their underwater movements and behaviors.”
