Aim Enhanced management of areas important for marine biodiversity are now obligations
under a range of international treaties. Tracking data provide unparalleled information on …

Background Identification of key foraging habitats of aquatic top predators is essential for
designing effective management and conservation strategies. The Baltic ringed seal (Phoca …

Strategies employed by wide-ranging foraging animals involve consideration of habitat
quality and predictability and should maximise net energy gain. Fidelity to foraging sites is …

Given the patchiness and long-term predictability of marine resources, memory of high-
quality foraging grounds is expected to provide fitness advantages for central place foragers …

Abstract Information on site fidelity and ranging patterns of wild animals is critical to
understand how they use their environment and guide conservation and management …

The conservation and management of mobile species, populations and dynamic habitats,
presents significant challenges since such species face diverse threats during various …

Knowledge of the intensity of spatial overlap between aquatic top predators and fisheries is
required to efficiently alleviate the negative effects of marine mammal-fishery interactions …

Seasonal and annual climate variations are linked to fluctuations in the abundance and
distribution of resources, posing a significant challenge to animals that need to adjust their …

Foraging site fidelity has profound consequences for individual fitness, population
processes and the effectiveness of species conservation measures. Accordingly, quantifying …

Intraspecific variability is increasingly recognized as an important component of foraging
behavior that can have implications for both population and community dynamics. We used …
