Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Wildlife Society Bulletin"
DOI: 10.1002/wsb.1523
Abstract: Wildlife tracking studies have become ubiquitous in ecology and now provide previously unobtainable data regarding individual movement, vital rates, and population demographics. However, tracking devices can potentially reduce survival of study subjects, generating biases in… read more here.

Improving Energetic Efficiency and Practicality With a Suspended Backpack During Load Carriage
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics"
DOI: 10.1109/tmech.2024.3525258
Abstract: Suspended backpacks reduce the energetic cost of load carriage, but existing designs often focus on minimizing peak load acceleration, resulting in lower efficiency. In addition, excessive weight and bulkiness lead to compromised practicality. This study… read more here.
