The importance of oceanographic fronts to marine birds and mammals of the southern oceans
During the last 30 years, at-sea studies of seabirds and marine mammals in the oceans
south of the Subtropical Front have described an association with major frontal areas. More …

On the Front Line: frontal zones as priority at‐sea conservation areas for mobile marine vertebrates
Identifying priority areas for marine vertebrate conservation is complex because species of
conservation concern are highly mobile, inhabit dynamic habitats and are difficult to monitor …

Foraging behavior and success of a mesopelagic predator in the northeast Pacific Ocean: insights from a data-rich species, the northern elephant seal
The mesopelagic zone of the northeast Pacific Ocean is an important foraging habitat for
many predators, yet few studies have addressed the factors driving basin-scale predator …

The effect of climate change on the escape kinematics and performance of fishes: implications for future predator–prey interactions
Climate change can have a pronounced impact on the physiology and behaviour of fishes.
Notably, many climate change stressors, such as global warming, hypoxia and ocean …

Southern Ocean frontal structure and sea-ice formation rates revealed by elephant seals
Polar regions are particularly sensitive to climate change, with the potential for significant
feedbacks between ocean circulation, sea ice, and the ocean carbon cycle. However, the …

Approaches to studying climatic change and its role on the habitat selection of Antarctic pinnipeds
Top predators integrate resources over time and space, and depending on the particular
species they represent, different components of the marine environment. The habitat …

Circumpolar habitat use in the southern elephant seal: implications for foraging success and population trajectories
Abstract In the Southern Ocean, wide‐ranging predators offer the opportunity to quantify how
animals respond to differences in the environment because their behavior and population …
