A framework to estimate the likelihood of species interactions and behavioural responses using animal‐borne acoustic telemetry transceivers and accelerometers
Abstract Interactions between animals structure food webs and regulate ecosystem function and productivity. Quantifying subsurface behavioural interactions among marine organisms is challenging, but technological advances are promoting novel opportunities. Here, we present a framework to estimate wh...

Abstract Interactions between animals structure food webs and regulate ecosystem function and productivity. Quantifying subsurface behavioural interactions among marine organisms is challenging, but technological advances are promoting novel opportunities. Here, we present a framework to estimate when there is a high likelihood that aquatic animal subsurface interactions occur and test for a movement‐related behavioural response to those interactions over short temporal scales (days) using a novel multi‐sensor biologging package on a large marine predator, the Greenland shark ( Somniosus microcephalus ). We deployed a recoverable biologging package combining a VEMCO Mobile Transceiver (VMT), accelerometer and a temperature–depth tag to quantitatively assess fine‐scale behaviour during detection events, that is when sharks carrying the novel VMT package ( animal R , n = 3) detected sharks independently tagged with transmitters in the system ( animal T , n = 29). Concurrently, we developed simulations to estimate the distances between animal R and animal T by accounting for their swim speed, the estimated detection efficiency of the VMT and the number of consecutive transmissions recorded.
