Fig. 6

A 15-min duration of a Magellanic penguin’s foraging trip at sea. The top plot characterises stylised trends in the raw values and select derivatives from motion sensor and GPS unit output (2D waveforms vs time), including differentiating between dives and surface periods (marked events—primarily based on depth data). Note that pressure is inverted to reflect depth. The bottom left plot maps the entire (17 h) VP-corrected dead-reckoned foraging trip. The bottom right plot graphs the resultant VP-corrected dead-reckoned track (coloured according to VeDBA) in 3-D, relative to all available GPS fixes obtained (black)). Note the latency delays in GPS recordings (as seen in the top plot), with a temporal offset of fixes (red dot projections) occurring at green-marked events (at depth)). Fixes that occurred at depth were removed from the analysis
