Abstract
The understanding of the interplay of movement, behaviour and physiology that biologging offers has applied relevance for a range of fields, including evolutionary ecology, wildlife conservation and behavioural ecology. In recognition of this, the Journal of Animal Ecology has an upcoming Special Feature on Biologging (submissions due 20th September). Bio-telemetry devices are used ubiquitously across vertebrates in studies of movement and behavioural ecology and can provide scientists with unparalleled opportunities to collect large amounts of data on wild animals. However, while bio-logging offers great promise in answering crucial questions in ecology, conservation and management, there are many challenges that still exist. Here, William Kay from Swansea University discusses the impacts of increased drag on animals tagged with bio-logging devices and the need to consider all forms of device-induced detriment.
