Animal movement is essential to our understanding of population dynamics, animal behavior, and the impacts of global change. Coupled with high-resolution biotelemetry data, exciting new inferences about animal movement have been facilitated by various specifications of contemporary models. These approaches differ, but most share common themes. One key distinction is whether the underlying movem...

Locomotor activity (LMA) is a simple and easily performed measurement of behavior in mice and other rodents. Improvements in video tracking software (VTS) have allowed it to be coupled to LMA testing, dramatically improving specificity and sensitivity when compared to the line crossings method with manual scoring. In addition, VTS enables high-throughput experimentation. While similar to automa...

The recent debate on both the existence and the cause of fractal (Lévy) patterns in animal movement resonates with much deeper and richer problems in movement ecology: (1) establishing mechanistic links between animal behavior and statistical patterns of movement, and (2) understanding what is the role of randomness (stochasticity) in animal motion. Here, the idea of behavioral intermittence is...

Health care systems are struggling to meet the requirements of the elderly population. These systems need to be more advanced with the advent of new technologies. This paper aims at providing immediate care to the serious patients in case of the emergency. The proposed system measures and monitors heart rate and pulse rate of the patient from a distance, that is, wirelessly. Wireless technologi...

During multiple annual spawning runs from 2013 to 2021, over 9,000 mature anadromous alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus A. Wilson, 1811) were monitored with passive integrated transponders (PITs) in four rivers of the Chignecto Isthmus, Bay Fundy, Canada. A subsample 384 individuals tagged during 2016–2019 aged 3 6 years (mean ± SD; 4.2 0.7 years, n = 232, males; 4.5 152, females). Biotelemetry reve...

Domestic cattle ( ) are naturally susceptible to Background: Bos taurus hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension; consequently, the bovine calf has been used with considerable success as an animal model of the analogous human condition. Studies to date, however, have relied on instantaneous measurements of pressure and cardiac output. Here, we describe the surgical technique for placemen...
