Sentence examples for diving animals from inspiring English sources

For years, the examination of these strategies has been challenging because of the difficulties in observing submerged diving animals [4].

These discoveries point to the need to experimentally identify the factors that determine optimal swim speed in pinnipeds and other breath-hold diving animals.

Although it has been previously recognized that increased drag reduces speed when the propulsive force is constant, it has been difficult to confirm the effect of drag on swim speed using diving animals.

Our study shows that swim speed can be used to estimate the energetic cost of a dive, and that diving animals swim at optimal speeds that minimize the energetic cost of diving and maximize the time that can be spent foraging at depth.

Swimming and diving animals generally have their nostrils and eyes high up on their heads so they can see and breathe while still otherwise submerged, they generally have a streamlined body to reduce drag, a flattened and flexible tail for propulsion, and broad and spreading toes (generally webbed too) to help them swim.

Then in 2013, Berenbrink made a startling discovery about diving animals' muscles.

No evidence of any histopathological damage in the brains of dived animals was found through staining with H&E and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (Blogg et al. 2004; Woodger et al. 2001).

So off I went, a midlife woman with a passion for diving and animals, off on my very own adventure!

Although Fastloc GPS drastically improves the quality of tracking data of diving marine animals and will facilitate analyses at smaller spatio-temporal scales, the abundance of historic ARGOS tracking records and relative ease of ARGOS tracking (i.e. no recapture requirement) will ensure a continued demand for analytical approaches using these data.

Just before diving, the animal exhales to reduce its lung volume and achieve negative buoyancy.

But in about one dive of every six, the animals dove deep on average, to depths of about 340 meters and spent about 145 minutes there, presumably foraging.
