Kinematics of foraging dives and lunge-feeding in fin whales
Fin whales are among the largest predators on earth, yet little is known about their foraging
behavior at depth. These whales obtain their prey by lunge-feeding, an extraordinary …

Factors affecting stroking patterns and body angle in diving Weddell seals under natural conditions
Aquatic animals use a variety of strategies to reduce the energetic cost of locomotion.
Efficient locomotion is particularly important for breath-holding divers because high levels of …

Insights from the first global population estimate of Weddell seals in Antarctica
The Weddell seal is one of the best-studied marine mammals in the world, owing to a
multidecadal demographic effort in the southernmost part of its range. Despite their …

Yo-yo vertical movements suggest a foraging strategy for tiger sharks Galeocerdo cuvier
Many pelagic fishes exhibit 'yo-yo'diving behavior, which may serve several possible
functions, including energy conservation, prey searching and navigation. We deployed …
