    Abstract A three‐dimensional analytical model was used to understand tidal dynamics in deep and narrow (fjord‐like) basins. This model allows the width of the basin to decay exponentially with along‐channel distance from the mouth. Both the length scale of exponential convergence Lb∗ and the friction parameter Av∗ (vertical eddy viscosity) were the free parameters. Model results show amplification of the tidal amplitude toward the head of the basin. Amplification depends on the narrowing rate of the funnel‐like width of the channel and on friction. Cross‐channel variations in along‐channel tidal flow are also sensitive to the friction parameter. A typical along‐channel tidal flow distribution was found across the channel when the vertical eddy viscosity was characteristic of a basin with strong friction, or the Stokes number was larger than 0.1 (St > 0.1). Maximum along‐channel tidal velocities (ranging from 0.25 to 0.5 m s⁻¹ depending on width convergence strength) were located in the center of the basin and at the surface. Decreasing values of the Stokes number, St < 0.1, resulted in along‐channel velocity maxima located near the lateral boundaries and subsurface in the middle of the channel. These tidal flow distributions were explained by a critical value of St and were verified with observations from Reloncavi Fjord, Chilean Patagonia yielding good agreement.

    Abstract Long-term tracking using global positioning systems (GPS) is widely used to study vertebrate movement ecology, including fine-scale habitat selection as well as large-scale migrations. These data have the potential to provide much more information about the behavior and ecology of wild vertebrates: here we explore the potential of using GPS datasets to assess timing of activity in a chronobiological context. We compared two different populations of deer (Cervus elaphus), one in the Netherlands (red deer), the other in Canada (elk). GPS tracking data were used to calculate the speed of the animals as a measure for activity to deduce unbiased daily activity rhythms over prolonged periods of time. Speed proved a valid measure for activity, this being validated by comparing GPS based activity data with head movements recorded by activity sensors, and the use of GPS locations was effective for generating long term chronobiological data. Deer showed crepuscular activity rhythms with activity peaks at sunrise (the Netherlands) or after sunrise (Canada) and at the end of civil twilight at dusk. The deer in Canada were mostly diurnal while the deer in the Netherlands were mostly nocturnal. On an annual scale, Canadian deer were more active during the summer months while deer in the Netherlands were more active during winter. We suggest that these differences were mainly driven by human disturbance (on a daily scale) and local weather (on an annual scale). In both populations, the crepuscular activity peaks in the morning and evening showed a stable timing relative to dawn and dusk twilight throughout the year, but marked periods of daily a-rhythmicity occurred in the individual records. We suggest that this might indicate that (changes in) light levels around twilight elicit a direct behavioral response while the contribution of an internal circadian timing mechanism might be weak or even absent.
