The inherently multidimensional nature of the niche has not yet been integrated into the
investigation of individual niche specialization within populations. We propose a framework …

Continuous‐time models have been developed to capture features of animal movement
across temporal scales. In particular, one popular model is the continuous‐time correlated …

Individual specialization, which describes whether populations are comprised of dietary
generalists or specialists, has profound ecological and evolutionary implications. However …

Foraging strategies are of great ecological interest, as they have a strong impact on the
fitness of an individual and can affect its ability to cope with a changing environment. Recent …

In recent decades, biologists have sought to tag animals with various sensors to study
aspects of their behavior otherwise inaccessible from controlled laboratory experiments …

Biologging and habitat modelling are key tools supporting the development of conservation
measures and mitigating the effects of anthropogenic pressures on marine species. Here …

Abstract Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is becoming a key management approach
throughout the world. The process includes the map** of how humans and wildlife use the …

Marine predators adapt their hunting techniques to locate and capture prey in response to
their surrounding environment. However, little is known about how certain strategies …

Divergent foraging strategies may emerge within a population due to a combination of
