Tri-axial dynamic acceleration as a proxy for animal energy expenditure; should we be summing values or calculating the vector?

Tri-axial dynamic acceleration as a proxy for animal energy expenditure; should we be summing values or calculating the vector?

Dynamic body acceleration (DBA) has been used as a proxy for energy expenditure in logger-equipped animals, with researchers summing the acceleration (overall dynamic body acceleration--ODBA) from the three orthogonal axes of devices. The vector of the dynamic body acceleration (VeDBA) may be a bett...
