Combining accelerometry with allometry for estimating daily energy expenditure in joules when in-lab calibration is unavailable

Abstract Background All behaviour requires energy, and measuring energy expenditure in standard units (joules) is key to linking behaviour to ecological processes. Animal-borne accelerometers are commonly used to infer proxies of energy expenditure, termed ‘dynamic body acceleration’ (DBA). However,...
