Acoustic surveys are a widely used sampling tool in ecological research and monitoring.
They are used to monitor populations and ecosystems and to study various aspects of …

The question of how individuals acquire and allocate resources to maximize fitness is
central in evolutionary ecology. Basic information on prey selection, search effort, and …

Ship** is the dominant marine anthropogenic noise source in the world's oceans, yet we
know little about vessel encounter rates, exposure levels and behavioural reactions for …

The largest animals are marine filter feeders, but the underlying mechanism of their large
size remains unexplained. We measured feeding performance and prey quality to …

For many marine organisms, especially large whales that cannot be studied in laboratory
settings, our ability to obtain basic behavioral and physiological data is limited, because …

Mobile animal groups provide some of the most compelling examples of self-organization in
the natural world. While field observations of songbird flocks wheeling in the sky or anchovy …

Acoustics play a central role in humankind's interactions with the ocean and the life within.
Passive listening to ocean “soundscapes” informs us about the physical and bio-acoustic …

The ability to modify vocalizations to compensate for environmental noise is critical for
successful communication in a dynamic acoustic environment. Many marine species rely on …
