From: A role for lakes in revealing the nature of animal movement using high dimensional telemetry systems
Data from acoustic telemetry will greatly enhance our analysis of social and collective behaviour in fish, as well as allow new forms of analysis that have previously been impossible in the wild. The analysis of leader-follower dynamics, social networks, and group cohesion can now be performed at much greater temporal and spatial scales using telemetry data. This will allow study of how these social factors affect ecological phenomena including group foraging, migrations, and predator avoidance, and how changing environments further modulate these effects. Telemetry data will revolutionize the study of the interactions between habitat use (e.g. in response to physical structure or factors such as temperature of oxygen availability) and passive and active assortment of phenotypes among and within groups. In addition, an opportunity now exists to examine among-group variation in space use, territoriality, and changes in social group membership, with possible effects on individual fitness
