a Schematic of large-scale multi-species biologging experiment. Skate, squid, lobster, and flounder in a large saltwater tank (318,100 liters), half of the individuals per species were equipped with the BIMS. All animals were free-ranging and free-interacting within the tank. b–d Representative images of squid (b), skate (c), and lobster (d) equipped with the BIMS interacting with untagged animals. e–g Schematic (e), pitch (f), and relative variance (g) for three squid equipped with the BIMS interacting to an oncoming skate. Pitch and relative variance show group-level schooling behavior. h Representative image of interspecies interaction. i Average overall dynamic body acceleration (ODBA) of the flounder, skate, lobster, and squid monitored by the BIMS.
