Cascading top‐down effects of changing oceanic predator abundances
Summary 1 Top‐down control can be an important determinant of ecosystem structure and
function, but in oceanic ecosystems, where cascading effects of predator depletions …

Drone up! Quantifying whale behavior from a new perspective improves observational capacity
During traditional boat-based surveys of marine megafauna, behavioral observations are
typically limited to records of animal surfacings obtained from a horizontal perspective …

The future of Arctic benthos: expansion, invasion, and biodiversity
One of the logical predictions for a future Arctic characterized by warmer waters and reduced
sea-ice is that new taxa will expand or invade Arctic seafloor habitats. Specific predictions …
