Reviewing seas of data: Integrating image‐based bio‐logging and artificial intelligence to enhance marine conservation Open
Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including imag…

<span>VANTAGE</span> : An open‐source application for visualisation, navigation and analysis of video and ancillary time‐series data in bio‐logging studies Open
Animal‐attached devices, or bio‐loggers, that record data on multiple channels are frequently used to study the movement of free‐ranging animals. In recent years, the deployment of animal‐borne video cameras in addition to other time‐serie…

Identifying prey capture events of a free-ranging marine predator using bio-logger data and deep learning Open
Marine predators are integral to the functioning of marine ecosystems, and their consumption requirements should be integrated into ecosystem-based management policies. However, estimating prey consumption in diving marine predators requir…

Habitat preferences of <i>Phoebetria</i> albatrosses in sympatry and allopatry Open
Aim Competition is often proposed to drive niche segregation along multiple axes in speciose communities. Understanding spatial partitioning of foraging areas is particularly important in species that are constrained to a central place. We…

A novel approach to seabird posture estimation: finding roll and yaw angles of dynamic soaring albatrosses using tri-axial magnetometers Open
With advances in bio-logging technology, the posture of animals is now commonly described by inertial measurement units, which include tri-axial accelerometers to estimate pitch and roll angles. Many large seabirds use dynamic soaring flig…

Leaping into the future: Current application and future direction of computer vision and artificial intelligence in marine sciences in South Africa Open
The inaugural Computer Vision for Marine Scientists workshop was held at the 17th South African Marine Science Symposium, with the primary goal of establishing a community of practice for computer vision (CV) in marine sciences in South Af…

Wind driven effects on the fine-scale flight behaviour of dynamic soaring wandering albatrosses Open
Wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans are among the largest flying birds. Their energy-efficient dynamic soaring flight allows them to travel large distances by exploiting the gradient in wind strength above the sea surface. We used bio-l…

The role of wingbeat frequency and amplitude in flight power Open
Body-mounted accelerometers provide a new prospect for estimating power use in flying birds, as the signal varies with the two major kinematic determinants of aerodynamic power: wingbeat frequency and amplitude. Yet wingbeat frequency is s…

Seabird morphology determines operational wind speeds, tolerable maxima and responses to extremes Open
Summary Storms can cause widespread seabird strandings and wrecking 1,2,3,4,5 , yet little is known about the maximum wind speeds that birds are able to tolerate or the conditions they avoid. We analyzed > 300,000 hours of tracking data fr…

Habitat model forecasts suggest potential redistribution of marine predators in the southern Indian Ocean Open
Aim Climate change will likely lead to a significant redistribution of biodiversity in marine ecosystems. We examine the potential redistribution of a community of marine predators by comparing current and future habitat distribution proje…

Global political responsibility for the conservation of albatrosses and large petrels Open
Highly-threatened seabirds connect many countries and the high seas and therefore depend on coordinated ocean governance.

Habitat modelling of tracking data from multiple marine predators identifies important areas in the Southern Indian Ocean Open
Aim The distribution of marine predators is driven by the distribution and abundance of their prey; areas preferred by multiple marine predator species should therefore indicate areas of ecological significance. The Southern Ocean supports…

Pseudo-egg “fabrication” by Grey-headed Albatrosses <i>Thalassarche chrysostoma</i> on Marion Island Open
Pseudo-eggs are foreign objects, resembling eggs, found inside the nests of birds (Conover 1985) and have been recorded in several ground-nesting seabirds (Coulter 1980; Conover 1985; Mellink 2002; DeStefano et al. 2013; Wagner et al. 2013…
