Stress-coping styles are associated with energy budgets and variability in energy management strategies in a capital breeder (2025)
Journal Article
Shuert, C. R., Pomeroy, P. P., & Twiss, S. D. (2025). Stress-coping styles are associated with energy budgets and variability in energy management strategies in a capital breeder. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 292(2046), 20241787. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2024.1787

Individuals vary in their stress-coping styles, characterized by specific behavioural and physiological traits that influence their response to stressors. Theory suggests that these traits are linked to underlying metabolic mechanisms that affect ene...

Energetic limits: Defining the bounds and trade‐offs of successful energy management in a capital breeder (2020)
Journal Article
Shuert, C. R., Halsey, L. G., Pomeroy, P. P., & Twiss, S. D. (2020). Energetic limits: Defining the bounds and trade‐offs of successful energy management in a capital breeder. Journal of Animal Ecology, 89(11), 2461-2472. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13312

Judicious management of energy can be invaluable for animal survival and reproductive success. Capital breeding mammals typically transfer energy to their young at extremely high rates while undergoing prolonged fasting, making lactation a tremendous...

Coping styles in capital breeders modulate behavioural trade-offs in time allocation: assessing fine-scale activity budgets in lactating grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) using accelerometry and heart rate variability (2019)
Journal Article
Shuert, C. R., Pomeroy, P. P., & Twiss, S. D. (2020). Coping styles in capital breeders modulate behavioural trade-offs in time allocation: assessing fine-scale activity budgets in lactating grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) using accelerometry and heart rate variability. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 74(1), 8. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-019-2783-8

Balancing time allocation among competing behaviours is an essential part of energy management for all animals. However, trade-offs in time allocation may vary according to the sex of the individual, their age, and even underlying physiology. During...

Best practice recommendations for the use of external telemetry devices on pinnipeds (2019)
Journal Article
Horning, M., Andrews, R. D., Bishop, A. M., Boveng, P. L., Costa, D. P., Crocker, D. E., Haulena, M., Hindell, M., Hindle, A. G., Holser, R. R., Hooker, S. K., Hückstädt, L. A., Johnson, S., Lea, M.-A., McDonald, B. I., McMahon, C. R., Robinson, P. W., Sattler, R. L., Shuert, C. R., …Womble, J. N. (2019). Best practice recommendations for the use of external telemetry devices on pinnipeds. Animal Biotelemetry, 7(1), 20. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-019-0182-6

Pinnipeds spend large portions of their lives at sea, submerged, or hauled-out on land, often on remote of-shore islands. This fundamentally limits access by researchers to critical parts of pinniped life history and has spurred the development and i...

Assessing the utility and limitations of accelerometers and machine learning approaches in classifying behaviour during lactation in a phocid seal (2018)
Journal Article
Shuert, C. R., Pomeroy, P. P., & Twiss, S. D. (2018). Assessing the utility and limitations of accelerometers and machine learning approaches in classifying behaviour during lactation in a phocid seal. Animal Biotelemetry, 6(1), 14. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-018-0158-y

Background Classifying behaviour with animal-borne accelerometers is quickly becoming a popular tool for remotely observing behavioural states in a variety of species. Most accelerometry work in pinnipeds has focused on classifying behaviour at sea o...
