A Physio-Logging Journey: Heart Rates of the Emperor Penguin and Blue Whale
Physio-logging has the potential to explore the processes that underlie the dive behavior and ecology of marine mammals and seabirds, as well as evaluate their adaptability to environmental change and other stressors. Regulation of heart rate lies at the core of the physiological processes that dete...
