The Sea Mammal Research Unit at the University of St Andrews hosted the second International Bio-logging Science Symposium, 13-16 June 2005. This symposium followed on from the successful first bio-logging science symposium held in Tokyo in 2003 (2003 website).

The symposium goal was to highlight the use of bio-logging devices in the study of the links between animal behaviour, physiology, and ecology. Catering for both biologists and technologists, the meeting aimed to stimulate the novel use and future development of bio-logging systems. The symposium was well-attended by approximately 150 participants from as far afield as Australia, Japan and South Africa. Plenary addresses were given on a range of topics by international leaders in this field:
- Mike Fedak, University of St Andrews, UK. Topic: Ecology
- Mark Johnson, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA. Topic: New Technology
- Paul Ponganis, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, USA. Topic: Physiology
- Henri Weimerskirsch, Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé, France. Topic: Behaviour
- Pat Butler, Birmingham University, UK. Topic: Future directions in biologging science
