Application of Biologging Technology to the Study of Migration and Behaviour in the Manx Shearwater, Puffinus puffinus - WCUB, ENWW

电子生物记录技术的发展为动物行为和跟踪研究开辟了新的可能性。通过将生物记录设备连接到英国各地繁殖殖民地的跨赤道迁徙海鸟上，我将建立在长期收集的跟踪和生活史数据的基础上。这与实验操作相结合，将被用来解决一些悬而未决的问题的机制和驱动程序的迁移行为和生活史的决定。作为这个研究项目的一部分，我将探索和推进使用简单的数据记录器来推断动物行为的方法，否则很难观察或跟踪。BBSRC优先领域解决-数据驱动的生物学-生物科学技术开发-环境和土地利用

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
