Using Drones to Assess Volitional Swimming Kinematics of Manta Ray Behaviors in the Wild
Drones have become increasingly popular tools to study marine megafauna but are underutilized in batoid research. We used drones to collect video data of manta ray (<i>Mobula</i> cf. <i>birostris</i>) swimming and assessed behavior-specific kinematics in Kinovea, a semi-autom...
