Movement, resting, and attack behaviors of wild pumas are revealed by tri-axial accelerometer measurements
BACKGROUND Accelerometers are useful tools for biologists seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the daily behavior of cryptic species. We describe how we used GPS and tri-axial accelerometer (sampling at 64 Hz) collars to monitor behaviors of free-ranging pumas (Puma concolor), which are difficult or impossible to observe in the wild. We attached collars to twelve pumas in the Santa Cruz Mo...
متن کاملUsing tri-axial accelerometers to identify wild polar bear behaviors
Tri-axial accelerometers have been used to remotely identify the behaviors of a wide range of taxa. Assigning behaviors to accelerometer data often involves the use of captive animals or surrogate species, as their accelerometer signatures are generally assumed to be similar to those of their wild counterparts. However, this has rarely been tested. Validated accelerometer data are needed for po...
متن کاملPosture and Activity Detection Using a Tri-axial Accelerometer
Quantifying activity levels among healthy older adults and patients can provide objective information on sedentary behavior and physical function [1]. In order to accurately quantify activity in the free-living environment, a robust method for classifying posture and activity needs to be established. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to validate the identification of static postures and ...
متن کاملStep Counts Using a Tri-axial Accelerometer during Activity
Physical activity has been associated with health improvements in a number of populations. Step counting is one of the most commonly used measures of physical activity [1]. Due to their small size and light weight, the use of wearable sensors for step counts has been investigated in many studies [2, 3] as they are suitable for home deployment. One of the main issues with step counts as a physic...
متن کاملIdentification of animal movement patterns using tri-axial magnetometry
BACKGROUND Accelerometers are powerful sensors in many bio-logging devices, and are increasingly allowing researchers to investigate the performance, behaviour, energy expenditure and even state, of free-living animals. Another sensor commonly used in animal-attached loggers is the magnetometer, which has been primarily used in dead-reckoning or inertial measurement tags, but little outside tha...
