Responses by marine top predators to environmental variability have previously been
almost impossible to observe directly. By using animal-mounted instruments simultaneously …

Choices made by foraging animals should maximize energy intake, although 'irrational'short-
term behaviours are common. One explanation for this is that environmental variation may …

Top predators integrate resources over time and space, and depending on the particular
species they represent, different components of the marine environment. The habitat …

Dramatic population declines among species of pelagic shark as a result of overfishing have
been reported, with some species now at a fraction of their historical biomass. Advanced …

Identifying individuals' foraging strategies is critical to understanding the ecology of a
species, and can provide the means to predict possible ecological responses to …

In highly dynamic and unpredictable environments such as the Southern Ocean, species
that have evolved behaviors that reduce the effects of intra-specific competition may have a …

Maternal and physical factors play a significant role in animal life-history variability, which
means that large scale climate change has the potential to affect the size and dynamics of …

Predators are thought to reduce travel speed and increase turning rate in areas where
resources are relatively more abundant, a behavior termed “area‐restricted search.” …

Southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, undertake large-scale oceanic movements to
access favourable foraging areas. Successful foraging areas of elephant seals from the …

This study describes the association between transient, mesoscale hydrographic features
along the axis of the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence, in the SW Atlantic, and the foraging …
