“…Photo © SM Steingass, 2015, NMFS #16691 transmit many behavioral, physiological and environmental variables and parameters, including dive depth, swim speed, acceleration and orientation, fine-scale movement, flipper stroking, heart rate and venous oxygen partial pressure [76,113,123]. ETDs can provide information on body temperature, heat exchange with surrounding medium, prey capture attempts and ingestion events, and proximity to conspecifics [24,49,51,54,65,70,87,90,124]. More recently, environmental data collected from animal-borne tags have supplemented data collected from other platforms, including vessel-based sampling, moorings, and various types of passive and active autonomous samplers [11,12].…”
