This ESR THEME SECTION builds upon the resounding success of the partner Theme Section Tracking Vertebrates for Conservation. It examines the tracking of marine vertebrates in relationship to their oceanic environment and conservation. The Theme Section includes fully peer-reviewed papers presented as part of the Biologging III Symposium (Monterey, August 2008) which was co-hosted by the Tagging of Pacific Predators (TOPP; www.topp.org) and Tag-a-Giant (TAG; www.tagagiant.org) programs. Symposium presentations showcased how the state of the art in biologging technologies was being used to unlock the ecology, physiology and conservation biology of a range of vertebrate species. The papers in the present volume represent the breadth and novelty of the research conveyed at the symposium along with additional related papers submitted independently.
As for all current ESR articles, we are pleased to make the online version of this ESR THEME SECTION available with Open Access
