Sentence examples for mean dive depth from inspiring English sources

The mean dive depth did not differ between age classes (Table 1).

The mean dive depth and duration was 1.46 m and 3.1 s (4.1 m and 11 s for the maximum values).

Mean dive depth and SST associated with each dive varied significantly among days for both birds (ANOVA: F>6.96, n = 10 days, p<0.001 for all comparisons; Table 3), suggesting that birds moved among habitats, diving differently within each.

Within oceanic TRAs, mean dive depth and mean dive duration were typically between 50 80 m (except UR06-3, Table S1, Fig. 5) and >20 min (except PA05-2 and UR06-3, Table S1, Fig. 5), respectively, with a high percentage of time spent between 0 10 m deep (typically >50%, except PA05-4 and GA06-2, Table S1).

However, within the high-use areas the mean diving depth was significantly shallower and the dive frequency and the variance in internal temperature significantly higher than compared to times in transit outside the high-use areas (multi-comparison ANOVA, P<0.01; Table 3).

The mean diving depths within the high-use areas were significantly shallower and the dive frequency and the variance in internal temperature significantly higher than during transit movements between the high-use areas.

The deployment of capillary depth recorders, which record the maximum dive depth undertaken by a bird (between attaching it to a bird and recovering it when it returns to land), has shown that while some species, like the wandering albatross, do not dive deeper than a metre, some species, like the light-mantled albatross, have a mean diving depth of almost 5 m and can dive as deep as 12.5 m.

Throughout the North Atlantic mean diving depth was significantly correlated with the depth of the thermocline, and dive behavior changed in relation to the stratification of the water column.

Nevertheless, the mean daily maximum dive depth of bird A (14.5 m; Table 3) is comparable to the mean maximum dive depths for several other Puffinus species [2], thus, the general patterns reported may be representative of the diving behaviour of great shearwaters.

The passage from a neritic transit area to a neritic TRA (FG05-5, PA05-5, UR06-2, UR06-3) was associated with a decrease in swimming velocity (Kruskal-Wallis followed by a post-hoc Bonferroni test, p<0.05 in all cases, Table S1, Fig. 5) and in the mean straightness index for the motor path while dive parameters remained similar except for UR06-2 and UR06-3 for which dive depth decreased.

The maximum recorded dive depth is 274 metres (900 feet).
