Animal-borne publication among the top 10% most downloaded papers in Global Change Biology

Towards the integration of animal‐borne instruments into global ocean observing systems is among the top 10% most downloaded papers in Global Change Biology Journal. This journal published the results of this study lead by Dr. David March (University of Exeter, UK) with researchers from University of Exeter, SOCIB, IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB), IEO and University of St Andrews. 

The study describes the integration of animal‐borne instruments into global ocean observing systems and suggests that data collected by turtles or sharks could also enhance ocean monitoring in other remote and critical areas such as tropical regions, with large influence on global climate variability and weather.
