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 …

Abstract Mid-latitude (∼ 30-60°) seasonally stratifying shelf-seas support a high abundance
and diversity of marine predators such as marine mammals and seabirds. However …

Abstract The North Sea is a key area worldwide for the installation of offshore wind farms
(OWFs). We analysed data from multiple sources to quantify the effects of OWFs on seabirds …

Colonial breeding is widespread among animals. Some, such as eusocial insects, may use
agonistic behavior to partition available foraging habitat into mutually exclusive territories; …

Spatial coherence between predators and prey has rarely been observed in pelagic marine
ecosystems. We used measures of the environment, prey abundance, prey quality, and prey …

Understanding and predicting the distribution of organisms in heterogeneous environments
lies at the heart of ecology. The spatial distribution of fish populations observed in the wild …

Population‐level estimates of species' distributions can reveal fundamental ecological
processes and facilitate conservation. However, these may be difficult to obtain for mobile …

The oceanographic drivers of marine vertebrate habitat use are poorly understood yet
fundamental to our knowledge of marine ecosystem functioning. Here, we use composite …

Studies of the body condition of five marine vertebrate predators in the Beaufort Sea,
conducted independently during the past 2–4 decades, suggest each has been affected by …

A significant degree of complexity to the conventional ecological dynamic is added by
studying prey–predator models with harvesting predators. The primary focus of classical …
