A thorough and quantified method for classifying seabird diving behaviour
International audience Time-depth recorders are commonly deployed on diving animals to obtain information on their aquatic behaviour. The recorded data provide a 2D profile of diving activity. As analyses of diving behaviour from such profiles have become more complex, these analyses have often suff...
