An at-sea assessment of Argos location accuracy for three species of large whales, and the effect of deep-diving behavior on location error
Abstract Background Argos satellite telemetry is used globally to track terrestrial and aquatic megafauna, yet the accuracy of this system has been described empirically only for a limited number of species. We used Argos-linked archival tags with Fastloc GPS deployed on free-ranging sperm (Physeter...
