Do Activity Sensors Identify Physiological, Clinical and Behavioural Changes in Laying Hens Exposed to a Vaccine Challenge? by Hyungwook Kang, Sarah Brocklehurst, Marie Haskell, Susan Jarvis, Victoria Sandilands

“…With behaviour observations from videos, the proportions of sitting, foraging and feeding behaviours (<i>p</i> = 0.044, 0.036 and 0.004, respectively), the proportion of total visit duration to the litter zone (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and perch (<i>p</i> = 0.037) with TrackLab and the proportions of visit counts of hens in the litter zone (<i>p</i> = 0.012) from video scanning changed significantly with days. …”

Sparse seagrass meadows are critical dugong habitat: A novel rapid assessment of habitat-wildlife associations using paired drone and in-water surveys by Nicole E. Said, Christophe Cleguer, Paul Lavery, Amanda J. Hodgson, Connor Gorham, Julian A. Tyne, Ankje Frouws, Simone Strydom, Johnny Lo, Holly C. Raudino, Kelly Waples, Kathryn McMahon

“…This study provided evidence of critical seagrass habitat, which is important knowledge for the protection and conservation of dugongs and their foraging habitat. The methods developed in this study could be employed in environmental impact assessments to predict and confirm potential seagrass forage habitat.…”
