The miniaturisation of electronic biologging technology has opened new possibilities in the study of animal behaviour and tracking. By attaching biologging devices to a trans-equatorial migrant seabird at breeding colonies around the UK, I will build on a long-term collection of tracking and life-history data. This, combined with experimental manipulations, will be used to tackle some of the outstanding questions on the mechanisms and drivers of migratory behaviour and life-history decisions. As part of this research project, I will look to explore and advance methods of using simple data-loggers to make inferences on the behaviour of animals that are otherwise difficult to observe or follow.BBSRC Priority Areas addressed- Data driven biology- Technology development for the biosciences- Environment and land use

电子生物记录技术的微型化为动物行为和跟踪的研究开辟了新的可能性。通过在英国各地繁殖群中的一只跨赤道候鸟身上安装生物记录设备，我将建立在长期跟踪和生活史数据收集的基础上。这与实验操作相结合，将被用来解决关于迁徙行为和生活史决定的机制和驱动因素的一些悬而未决的问题。作为这项研究项目的一部分，我将探索和推进使用简单的数据记录器对动物的行为做出推断的方法，否则很难观察或跟踪。BBSRC优先解决的领域-数据驱动的生物学-生物科学的技术开发-环境和土地利用
