Pinnipeds with proportionally wider aortic bulbs make longer dives
The enlarged size of the aortic bulb is thought to enhance the ability of marine mammals to remain underwater for extended periods. However, a convincing link between aortic bulb size and diving capa...

Incorporating sparse labels into hidden Markov models using weighted likelihoods improves accuracy and interpretability in biologging studies
Ecologists often use a hidden Markov model to decode a latent process, such as a sequence of an animal’s behaviours, from an observed biologging time series. Modern technological devices such as video...
