Medusa: Real-Time Data and Animal Detection
Squids are ecologically and economically vital taxon, yet there is little data of their behavior, outside captive settings. Our lab is bridging this knowledge gap by affixing bio-logging tags to free-ranging squid. These tags, ITAGs, measure the animal’s fine-scale movements concurrently with its depth, temperature, and surrounding light levels. We are using this technique to shed light on how environmental conditions influence squid swimming behavior and habitat use.
